Gardaí put residents on alert after spate of city burglaries

GARDAÍ in Waterford have warned residents to be vigilant when dealing with door-to-door callers following a series of break-ins at a number of houses in the city.

Gardaí have received a number of complaints from worried householders who were forced into uncomfortable situations by pushy door-to-door callers.

Gardaí are appealing to the public to inform them of any such callers, who they fear could be using door-to-door sales to target houses for robberies.
