Criminals target two Limerick filling stations on same night

CRIMINALS who targeted two County Limerick petrol stations in the same night left empty-handed

Limerick Live understands a number of "house breaking implements" were used by the perpetrators to try and gain entry to the businesses in Caherline and Cappamore.

However, the comprehensive and stringent security measures held firm and their plans were foiled. A certain amount of damage was caused by the burglars before they sped away on Friday night, May 26 or the early hours of that Saturday morning.

The filling station in Caherline, located on the R513 Limerick to Mitchelstown road, was only reopened two weeks earlier much to the delight of locals.
