GARDAI are appealing for help in locating a car which they believe was used in a theft incident in County Limerick.

An investigation is underway after a number of tools were stolen from a van which was parked at Dromard, Rathkeale last week.

The silver Vauxhall Vivaro van was targeted between 3.50am and 4.05am last Thursday morning, November 24.

"The van was broken into and a number of expensive tools were stolen including a Bosch hammer drill, a De Walt angle grinder, 50mm drill bits and a Makita Kango drill. We believe that a silver Toyota Avensis was linked with this crime," said Garda John Finnerty.
