Dublin burglars raid Cork homes

Gardaí have put on extra patrols in North and East Cork following a spate of burglaries, many of which are being perpetrated in broad daylight by criminals from Dublin.

In recent weeks there have been dozens of break-ins, mainly to houses in the likes of Mitchelstown, Fermoy, Rathcormac, Conna, Ballynoe, and Midleton.

A senior garda said it is believed that two main gangs are behind the spree.
