People going to GAA matches this weekend are being warned not to leave valuables in their cars.
There are two Carlow Senior Football semi-finals on this weekend with crowds also expected for a round of Hurling Championship matches in Kilkenny.
A purse was stolen after thieves smashed in the window of a car parked at Dr. Cullen park in Carlow last Saturday night.
Gardai are appealing for witnesses to that incident.
