Gardaí are continuing their investigations into an attempted theft of machinery which resulted in extensive damage of up to €10,000 being caused to a road outside Milltownpass.
The incident happened on Thursday last, 11 February when there was an attempt by thieves to steal a Hitachi excavator from a site. However the thieves had great difficulty in moving the excavator and only managed to get it a short distance down the road before abandoning their attempt.
