Gardaí are asking caravan and campervan owners to be vigilant, with more people taking staycations due to the current Covid-19 lockdown.

The campaign comes as part of the Garda Park Smart appeal, with caravan and campervan owners being advised to take extra security measures following a cluster of recent thefts. This comes as a result of 13 caravans being stolen since March of this year.
