Gardaí in County Kerry are investigating a series of burglaries that have left businesses and a private residence damaged, with stolen items ranging from electronic goods to cash and jewelry. The incidents, reported in Tralee and Kenmare, have prompted authorities to appeal for public assistance in identifying suspects.
Business Break-Ins in Tralee
The first incident occurred between 11 p.m. And 12:30 a.m. At Dealz, a store located in Abbey Court, Tralee. The front door was forced open, and several vape products were taken.
