Burglaries and attempted break-ins
Homeowners have been urged to be vigilant when it comes to home security in the run-up to Christmas following a number of incidents over the last week.
On Tuesday last, December 6, a number of items were taken during a break-in at a property on Delvin Main Street. Anyone who might have seen anyone acting suspiciously in the vicinity is asked to contact Delvin or Mullingar Garda Stations.
On Friday last, December 9, at around midday, an intruder was disturbed when he tried to gain entry to a house in the Lakepoint estate.
While nothing was taken in that particular incident, an external door was damaged.
On Sunday at around 6pm, two males were disturbed as they attempted to break in to a house in Windtown Park, Rathowen.
Anyone who might have noticed anything out of the ordinary in Rathowen on Sunday should contact Mullingar Garda Station
