I have been told of a man dressed in black with black hat, grey beard and hair knocking on doors asking the people of the house if their cars, washing machines etc are for sale. It is known that if he gets no answer to a house he is onto him mobile straight away (perhaps calling whoever to notify of empty house). He has been seen looking into cars and peoples windows before knocking on the doors. If you see this man please call the gardai immediatly.
About an hour and a half ago, a man fitting this discription approcahed two boys aged about 11 or 12 in our estate, and offered them some money, the boys ignored him and went into their houses. The mother of one of the boys was advised to call the Gardaí. He was driving a black punto type .

Anyone in the area please make sure your doors are locked at night and even the daytime. At aprox 2.40am on Sat/Sun a man was in the extension in the house, (in Boyne View) the owner was watching tv, everyone else was asleep in bed when he heard the kitchen door opening. He thought it was one of the kids coming down for a drink, but no, it was someone after getting into the house. He ran the culprit off and called the Gardai. He was wearing a navy/dark coloured hoodie and lonsdale runners, which he left behind at the front door. So, please be carful and keep your doors locked at all times.
