Crime Prevention - Livestock Theft

This month’s Crime Prevention segment highlighted the problem of livestock theft throughout the country. Sergeant Kelvin Courtney was in studio to give crime prevention advice to farmers and the farming community in relation to access control, CCTV, security lighting and property marking.

He was joined in studio by I.F.A president Eddie Downey, who discussed the newly launched Crimestoppers appeal, jointly organised by Crimestoppers, the Irish Farmers Association and An Garda Síochána.

The campaign is calling on members of the public and in particular those in the farming community with information on the theft of cattle and sheep to come forward with information.

There is a Crimestoppers reward in relation to the theft of livestock.
