Cork City officials have launched an investigation into the mysterious disappearance of up to €3,000 worth of protective wands from a busy bike lane in Cork city.

They have issued an appeal for anyone with information about the unauthorised removal of at least 24 wands from the inbound bike lane on Washington Street to contact them. And they said they plan to reinstall new bollards on the lane as soon as possible.
