Alert neighbour thwarts attempted theft from Limerick farm yard

GARDAI believe the actions of an alert neighbour prevented the theft of tools from a farm yard in Bruree.

According to Sergeant Ber Leetch, the farmer was alerted after he received a late-night call from a neighbour to say that a jeep was in his farm yard and that the occupants were acting suspiciously.
