Shoplifting incident in Leixlip under garda investigation

Gardaí received a report of a theft from a retail premises in the Glen Easton area of Leixlip, County Kildare, at about 9am on 8 March 2024. A 14 March 2024 report instead placed a theft from a store within Kildare Village Retail Outlet on the Nurney Road at about 1.30pm on 6 March 2024, so the sources differ on place and time. A man and a woman are described as entering the shop, concealing items and leaving without paying, but neither has been named. No arrests have been made, and on 15 March 2024 gardaí said investigations were ongoing and asked anyone with information to contact Leixlip Garda Station.
