Gardai Warn Burglars Are Targeting Cork Homes On Friday Nights

Homeowners are being urged to step up their security


A spike in burglaries in the suburbs of the city has led to a Gardai call to homeowners to step up their security..  

Anglesea Street Gardai say a gang has been operating in these areas for the last fortnight targetting unoccupied houses and stealing cash and jewellery

Last Friday and Saturday between the hours of 4pm and 9pm gardai responded to burglaries in Ballyvolane, Glanmire, Kerrypike, Douglas, Blackpool and Blarney Street...

The gang, who are not from Cork, hit seven houses in one evening   

The guards say the gang are focusing their attention on Friday evenings in particular and as a result they are reminding people to step up their home security this evening 

Sgt Tony Davis Crime Prevention Officer at Angelsea Street Garda Station told RedFM News that it's important that people light up and ensure all windows and doors are properly locked and secured
