Jewellery stolen from Nenagh shop by sleight of hand

Gardaí in Nenagh, County Tipperary, are investigating a theft from a jewellery shop in the town over the past fortnight before 5 July 2023, in which items worth €1,400 were taken. According to a Garda spokesperson, a shop assistant showed jewellery pieces to the suspect, and while the assistant was replacing them, the suspect picked up other items on display and put them into a brown leather bag. The suspect is not named or described in the report. No arrest, charge, court appearance or sentence has been reported, so the latest development is the ongoing Garda investigation reported by Tipperary Live on 5 July 2023.
