Unauthorised Taking and Burglary Incidents – Limerick, Tipperary and Clare

The Gardaí at Roxboro Road, Cahir and Killaloe are investigating a number of incidents that occurred across Limerick, Tipperary and Clare between the 11th August 2025 and 13th August 2025.

Between the night of the 11th and the early hours of the 12th August 2025, a white Honda Jazz, registration no 181L3139, was the subject of an Unauthorised Taking from the Ballycummin Village in Limerick. 

In the early hours of the 12th August 2025, shortly before 4am, the white Honda Jazz arrived at a car sales showroom on the old N8 near Cahir, Co. Tipperary.  Five males exited the Honda and forced their way into the building.  They located keys to two vehicles, a white and a gun metal silver coloured Volkswagon Golfs.  They then left with the two vehicles, in the direction of Cork, leaving the white Honda Jazz behind.  They returned to the car sales yard for a short time, where they proceeded to spray the Honda Jazz with a substance.  They then left in the direction of Cork again.

A short time later, the two vehicles paid for fuel at a service station at Cashel, Co. Tipperary. 

In the early hours of the 13th August 2025, at approximately 3:40am, the white Volkswagon Golf appeared at a shop in Scarriff, Co. Clare.  The front window of the shop was broken and five males entered.  Cigarettes, vapes and cash were taken from this location.
