Garda warning about lawnmower thefts

A ride on lawnmower was stolen in Glasson in recent days, the second incident of its kind in over a week, according to local Gardaí.

A lock was forced on a garage door in the Pearsonbrook area to gain entry just after 11.20am on Thursday, April 27 last, and a Husqvarna ride on lawnmower and a push mower were taken.

The incident was subsequently reported to the local station later that day.

It's the second theft of a ride on lawnmower in the Glasson area in just over a week.

Gardaí are advising the public to continue to be vigilant with expensive gardening equipment and secure them well after use. They also asked that anyone offered similar items for sale to get in touch with Athlone Garda Station 09064 98550.
