GARDAÍ in Donegal have recovered a series of items
stolen in burglaries in Newtowncunningham, Killea
and other areas recently.
Announcing the recovery of the items, Supt Vincent
O’Brien thanked the public for their co-operation.
Following a number of searches last week officers
recovered imitation firearms, gas canisters,
pellets, power tools, car stereos, spray paint guns
and two flat screen TVs.
It is believed all the goods were stolen in various
burglaries.
In one burglary in Newtown, 35 imitation weapons
were stolen and some of them are still unaccounted
for. Gardaí are still looking for a further seven
imitation Tarsus pistols and two imitation SIG-Sauer
pistols. |
