Urgent Garda appeal over series of local burglaries

Three burglaries - one of which may have been foiled - have happened in the last hour or so [just before lunchtime, Monday] one in Rosemount, one in Drumraney and one in Ballymore.

Gardaí say the suspects may be driving a black Audi A3, possibly with an 08 MN registration number, although the plates may be false.

If anyone has seen anything suspicious, call 999 or ring Athlone Garda Station 09064 98550.
