Enfield Attack And Carbury Heist: Kildare Hit Hard In Alarming Tool Theft Incidents

In Carbury, criminals made off with €7,000 worth of tools.

Tool theft is on the rise.

According to the Irish Independent, a notorious duo from Ballymun, north Dublin, are facing investigation for a spate of incidents.

They have been targeting counties Kildare, Meath, Dublin, and Westmeath.

It's understood that thieves attacked a man in Enfield after he tried to stop them stealing his tools.

In Carbury, criminals made off with €7,000 worth of tools.

There have been thefts totaling €12,000 in Ashbourne, following a separate €1,600 heist in Dunboyne.

Daytime thefts are becoming more and more prevalent, with An Garda Síochána analysing CCTV footage.

Meanwhile, in a separate incident, KFM recently reported how tools estimated to be around €3,000 were stolen in the Glen Easton View estate in Leixlip earlier this month.

In that case, a local went out to find that tools from their van had been taken.
