Gardaí in the Shannonside Region are appealing for witnesses after a series of power tool robberies from work vehicles.
Roscommon Gardaí are investigating two incidents on the 11th of September involving a blue Saab car with fake registration plates.
Between 4 and 5 pm on Monday the 11th of September, a silver Landcruiser jeep was broken into on Main Street in Athleague.
A passenger window and lock were smashed in the course of the burglary and over €2,400 worth of power tools were taken.
Later that day, over €1,200 worth of tools were taken from a locked Renault van on the premises of Sean Doyle and Son, on the Circular Road in Roscommon Town.
A week later at the same location, the occupant of a blue Mazda was disturbed while trying to gain entry to a number of vans using an angle grinder.
They fled empty handed once disturbed.
Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to contact Roscommon Garda Station or report it in confidence to the Garda Confidential line.
