We are seeing a big problem with valuables being stolen from vehicles.

That's according to local Garda, Ronan Mannion.

He said despite repeatedly warning the public, people are still leaving expensive items in their vehicles.

In one incident on Newbridge Road in Naas, an Asus laptop, debit cards and other items were stolen from a car on October 4th between 2.55pm and 3.18pm.

In the Rathwood area of Curryhills, Propserous, between October 3rd and 4th, another car was broken into.

It occurred between the hours of 6.30pm to 7am.

Items stolen included an expensive Microsoft laptop, Bose Headphones, Sony Headphones and an ASTRO Scout backpack.

Garda have appealed for anyone with information to contact Naas Garda Station.
