Burglary at private home in Ballyclough, Ballysheedy, Limerick

Two thieves broke into a shed at the rear of a private home in Ballyclough, Ballysheedy, Co Limerick, at 9:37pm on Wednesday 21 June 2023 and stole two leaf blowers. The sources give no description of the thieves, and gardaí did not know where they went afterwards. A report on limerickleader.ie on 29 June 2023 said Garda John Finnerty of Henry St Garda Station had appealed for witnesses, and no arrest or charge has been reported. The latest development is that the Roxboro team recovered both leaf blowers in a follow-up investigation, and Roxboro gardaí still want to speak to any witnesses.
