Two arrested over spate of Cork burglaries

GARDAÍ were yesterday questioning two people in relation to a spate of burglaries in Co Cork which involved the theft of tens of thousands of euro worth of property.

Gardaí have recovered what they described as a “substantial” amount of property following the arrest of a man and a woman in the Ballincollig area on Monday night. Both were said to be foreigners who were living in Ballincollig.

The man and woman were being detained yesterday at Bandon Garda Station where detectives were interviewing them in relation to a spate of burglaries in the Mallow, Midleton and Bandon areas during the past few weeks.
