Rural Ireland Burglars Primetime

Prime time tonight has programme on the Mayhem that is rural Ireland in recent years as travelling gangs rob man woman and child ...

Fine Gael obviously have been a major help to the travelling gang members closing nearly all rural Garda stations ...

Move to Dublin or be beaten to death as one woman puts it ...

I thought OP was organising a Boards hit job.

Didn't see the program.
However it's easier to carry out robberies in rural areas now that the smaller Garda stations are closing and the larger ones are cutting back.
There was a series of robberies near to where my friends parents live. They robbed a number of houses and were long gone before the Gardai could come out.
People are afraid.

Rural burglaries been declining steadily for years while they've skyrocketed in urban areas.

That doesn't suit the "be afraid, be very afraid" narrative though.

Another reason to de ruralise the country.

Garda stations are not the answer either. Mobile patrols are required and they can patrol from anywhere.

CCTV at the on/off ramps on the motorways would help too.

If the larger ones are cutting back, where did the Guards from the smaller ones go? They closed years ago.

There not declining just nowhere for people to report them as it could be 40 miles to the nearest station .. and even in that instance such is low detection rate people have given up ...

Sad to see older and not so old people bolting themselves into their homes once mid afternoon comes .... not that Fine Gael give a toss about rural Ireland ..

If only it was possible to communicate with people over long distances without leaving your home, then people could report crimes.

Bolting themselves in after mid afternoon. Did you just get here from the 1940s?

Ridiculous Nonsense.

They are different MOs

Burglaries in urban areas are rarely aggravated they tend to be opportunistic

In rural areas these gangs are carrying out home invasion style events. They beat and torture residents particularly elderly ones. Such rural residents feel more vulnerable as a result

Cash and jewellary mostly. The days of stealing a TV are long gone.

Atlantic Dawn · 22-02-2018 10:43PM

Why don't they have ANPR on the bloody motorways, they could track a car if they had a number plate instead of driving around looking for a needle in a haystack.

We’d be reasonably well off, but don’t use cash at all and our jewellery tends to be more of sentimental value.

I just have this vision of some yahoo demanding to know where the money is and having to explain to him that it’s in an investment account!

22-02-2018 10:46PM

He deserved a "last chance"

**** him and double **** him

yew_tree · 22-02-2018 10:49PM

Hopefully a few of these thugs are shot dead soon. If you break into someone’s homethe threat that you may be killed should be real.
