Boat engine thieves target Killarney

Gardaí are trying to track thieves who stole eight outboard engines from angler and passenger boats near Ross Castle, Killarney, one of the country’s best-known tourist attractions.

The engines, with a total value of around €15,000, were reported stolen in recent days.

Gardaí said it would have taken considerable time and effort to detach the engines from the boats.
