Five arrested in connection with spate of burglaries

Five men have been arrested after a spate of car break-ins and separate burglary incidents across Cork.

Three of the men were before the courts yesterday charged in connection with car break-ins on the southside of the city.

Separately, the Garda air unit was called in to assist in a massive manhunt in the north Cork area yesterday afternoon after another spate of burglaries in the region, earlier in the day.
