Thief nabbed trying to sell stolen goods online

It was a done deal as far as gardaí were concerned when they collared a young man who was trying to sell equipment he’d stolen on the internet.

Gardaí believe the man had been responsible for a mini crimewave in North West Cork and East Kerry in recent weeks, during which he stole thousands of euro worth of lawnmowers, powerwashers, and tools.

The thefts took place over the past two weeks from sheds and garages in Rathmore, Co Kerry and from the Boherbue, Cullen, and Millstreet areas in Co Cork.
