Local Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to a burglary that happened in broad daylight near Nowlan Park.
A small sum of cash was taken after the burglar forced entry through a back window of a house in Assumption place on Tuesday morning.
The victim had only been out of the house for about 2 or 2-and-a-half hours so Gardaí think the thieves may have been waiting for them to leave.
Sgt Barry Smith says if anyone saw any suspicious or unusual activity in the area they should get in touch.
