German visitors to Kilkenny targeted by pickpockets

A group of German tourists didn’t have the best experience in Kilkenny yesterday (Wednesday).

As they returned to their tour bus following a visit between 2 and 4pm yesterday afternoon some of them discovered purses and wallets missing from their bags.

It’s believed they may have left the bags unattended briefly as they were taking photos in the grounds of the Castle.

Gardai have told KCLR news they are examining CCTV footage in the area but they are asking anyone with information to contact them.
