Gardaí are investigating a break-in that occurred at a vacant property in south west Donegal last week.

The incident occurred in the area of Ballyloughan, Bruckless, sometime between Friday the 9th of January and Wednesday the 21st. The property is believed to have been entered via a previously smashed window.

Furniture was moved around inside the property and the electric heating was turned up, but nothing is believed to have been stolen from within and no damage was caused. 

Anyone who may have observed any type of suspicious activity, people or vehicles in that area between those dates or to anyone with any relevant information are urged to get in touch with Gardaí in Ballyshannon on 0719858530. The Garda Confidential Line may also be contacted on 1800 666 111.
