    Gardai have warned some dog walkers that dogs are being stolen in St Annes Park recently, about 8 dogs have been stolen this summer and it is believed that they are being taken to be sold at markets later on in the year in Co Leitrim. Other dogs have been taken from cars and gardens in the area also.

    They are being taken by a certain Irish Demographic with the intent to sell them in the markets in Drumshambo, and this now seems to be a yearly thing.

    Always be careful and vigilant when out no matter were you are with your dog.

    I dont have a link, it came directly from the Gardai yesterday when a dog went missing in the park. Luckily enough that dog was found, but the Gardai told walkers to keep dogs on the lead. Is there a way to request official info from the gardai ?

    Good to know. Lola and I walk there regularly. We were running around one of the football pitches the other day and there was a man standing at the far end by himself just watching. I thought it was a bit odd, but to be honest, I was thinking more about children who would be around there. I have to admit I forgot about it very quickly.

    Lola will be staying on her lead from now on
