Gardaí warning over cash in homes

Gardaí have strongly urged people in Kerry not to keep large sums of cash in their homes, following the theft of well over €200,000 in recent break-ins.

Burglaries have increased in the county, with both local and visiting criminals believed to be involved.

Around €100,000 was taken from a safe in a private house in a residential area of Killarney on July 8-9. It is believed the safe was set into a floor and covered by carpet.
