Gardai probe attempted burglaries in county Limerick town

A Garda investigation is underway in Abbeyfeale this Monday following two attempted overnight burglaries in the town.

A food premises and a residence were the targets, Inspector Andrew Lacey told the Limerick Leader. 

The attempted burglary in the house was reported at approximately 2.30am but the residents heard noise and the perpetrators fled the scene. There was no confrontation, Inspector Lacey said.
