A man in his 20s is due before Letterkenny District Court on Thursday morning over a spate of burglaries in south west Donegal.

The man was charged by Gardai after being arrested on August 4.

He was arrested along with a male juvenile, who has since been released without charge.

They were arrested on suspicion of committing a number of burglaries in the Kilcar and Ardara areas. The alleged offences were committed between January and August of this year.

Gardai swooped following a planned operation by officers in the Ballyshannon Garda District and a number of items of stolen property were also recovered during the operation.

The two were detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984.

The male teenage juvenile was released without charge. Gardai say that a file will be prepared for consideration for admission to the Garda Youth Diversion Programme.
