Gardaí have appealed for witnesses to come forward, after two cars were broken into in Letterkenny yesterday evening.
The incidents occurred at Coravaddy Woods yesterday evening, Friday the 20th of March, at approximately 5:45pm and 6pm.
Two parked cars in the area were broken into at those times, after having a window smashed.
Nothing was stolen from one of the cars, but several items were stolen from within the second car according to Gardaí.
Amongst the items that were taken were a grey/blue cord bag containing perfume, a small navy cloth zip coin purse containing a bank card and cash, a makeup bag, a mobile phone, a black glasses case with glasses inside, and a silver Sheaffer fountain pen with the initials ‘ED’ engraved on it.
Gardaí say that the pen holds a lot of sentimental value, and that they are anxious to retrieve it for the owner.
The stolen mobile phone was later found along the roadside.
Anyone who was travelling in the Coravaddy Woods area with a dash-cam between 5pm and 6.30pm yesterday evening has been asked to come forward and make the footage available to investigating Gardaí.
If anyone can assist with relevant information, they are being asked to contact Gardaí in Letterkenny on 074 91 67 100 or the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111.
