Gardaí probe weekend burglaries

Two separate burglaries in student accommodation over the weekend are under investigation by Gardaí.

In the first case on Friday, April 1, an intruder was disturbed by an occupant of the Glen Abhainn apartments, Dublin Road, and fled the scene emptyhanded.

An apartment in Kilmacoo was also broken into sometime from Friday to Sunday last, and an assortment of property including a laptop, games, clothes and kit bags were stolen. Some property, mainly clothes and bags, were later recovered by officers on nearby waste ground in Kilamacoo on Sunday.

Anyone who saw anything suspicious in either area from Friday to Sunday should call Athlone Garda Station on 09064 98850.
