Theft warning

GARDAÍ have warned motorists not to leave engines running while their cars are unattended after several vehicles were stolen from driveways recently.

Gardaí in Galway are investigating the theft of cars in Athenry, Oranmore and in an estate off the Headford Road in the city.

“It has become common during frost and snow for a motorist to start the car and leave it defrost and heat up unattended but unfortunately thieves are now targeting these vehicles,” said a garda spokesman.
