Car thefts in Balbriggan last night

Looks like joyriders are having a ball at the moment ... round about next to Church was in bits again over the week end and burnt out car at the entrance of Castleland sunday morning .
Heard another car wizzing up and down hamilton road at 4.30 this morning.

Keep an eye on your cars folks. We live over in Dun Saithne Green and last night while while in the kitchen with the missus we heard an almighty thump. I went outside as it sounded as if something had hit my neighbours front door. While in the garden a neighbour a few doors down came out and told me that she had seen someone in a hoody hanging around the cars which are parked directly outside our front gates (we're all on a small terrace).
He spotted her and ran down past our house into a cul de sac and most likely hopped the wall into the neighbouring estate. When I thought about it afterwards I wonder had he tried to break a window on one of our cars.


Just be vigilant. Our part of the estate is generally speaking pretty quiet and this was something out of the ordinary.

Huge amount of break-ins around Rush last Sunday night. Figure I heard was 21 between cars and houses.

A resident in Brookford told me 11 cars were damaged on Sunday. A woman taking photos at Red Island also had her car windows smashed on Tuesday evening.

It is not really surprising as there is very little deterrent and very little Gardai on patrol.
