A witness appeal has been issued following thefts in Letterkenny

Gardaí issued an appeal relating to incidents at Coravaddy Woods on Friday, March 20, between 5.45pm and 6pm. 

Two parked cars were broken into after the windows were smashed. A phone was later retrieved along the roadside, which is believed to have been stolen. 

The other items include a grey/blue cord bag containing perfume, a small navy cloth zip coin purse containing a bank card and cash, a makeup bag, a black glasses case, glasses and a silver Sheaffer fountain pen with the initials 'ED' engraved on it. Nothing was stolen from the other vehicle.

“The pen holds a lot of sentimental value and we are anxious to retrieve it for the owner,” An Garda Síochána Donegal shared. “The stolen mobile phone was later found along the roadside.

“We appeal to anyone who may have been in that area with a dash-cam between 5pm and 6.30pm to make the footage available to investigating Gardaí. If anyone can assist with relevant information, we ask them to contact Gardaí in Letterkenny on 074-9167100 or the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111.”
