Gardaí have arrested and charged a man in relation to three burglary incidents in Limerick City during May, 2021. At around 7.30am on Sunday last, Gardaí in Mayorstone Park received a report that a burglary had occurred at a shop on Old Cratloe Road just a few hours earlier. A man had attempted to gain entry through the roof and fell through onto the shop floor. He proceeded to remove a quantity of stock and then left the scene.

The scene was attended by local Detective Gardaí and the Scenes of Crime Unit. Following an investigation by Gardaí a man, aged in his 30s, was arrested in Limerick city on May 17. He was brought to Henry Street Garda Station where he was detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984. He has since been charged and is due to appear before Limerick City District Court later today.

 The man is also charged in connection with a burglary at a house on Glenmore Road on May 9 and an attempted burglary at the same shop on Old Cratloe Road, also on May 9.
