Sports clubs in Laois and Offaly are being targeted by burglars in recent days, Gardai have warned.
“Over the past few days a number of Sports Clubhouses in Laois and Offaly have been broken into during the hours of darkness. We continue to investigate these matters and are calling to members of the community in the respective areas,” Gardai stated.
“We are pleased to report that sports clubs have been careful regarding their property and as such the proceeds of the burglaries for the criminals has been very small. But this does not take away from the substantial damage caused in the break-in and the loss of services to club members pending the repair of the club house,” Gardai said.
“We are appealing for anyone who have seen any suspicious activities in the vicinity of their sports clubs recently to contact their local Garda Station as investigating garda suspect that the criminals may have visited the target areas in advance as part of the planning for their crime,” Gardai added.
