The thefts occurred over a period of little more than 24 hours last weekend and involved vehicles in Bandon, Clonakilty and, in one instance, Bantry. While gardaí are not definitely linking all four thefts to the spate of robberies from cars, it’s understood the cars taken from Clonakilty and Bandon areas were likely to have been the work of the same gang. Gardaí from West Cork are collaborating with their counterparts in the city as they investigate the thefts. Supt Fogarty said: “It’s a lot of thefts from vehicles in a short period. Any cars or taxis who were driving in those areas with dash cams we would also like to hear from you.”
