Toyota Land Cruiser and Graham Edwards Trailer Stolen From Farm Yard in Kilcounty


by SEAMUS WHELEHAN


Gardaí have been crit-


icised for the response of the Forces to a jeep theft, which may have allowed thieves to escape after the robbery had been notified within minutes. East Cork farmer, Nicholas Kelly, said the Gardaí’s initial re- sponse to reports of suspi- cious activity last Saturday 18 August in the Kilcounty and Mount Uniacke area was a shambles. The Kil- county farmer said while he was happy with local Gardaí


in Youghal, the


failure of the Force to set up road blocks at Youghal Bridge, Tallow, Fermoy and Killeagh has led the culprits to escape to the North.


Mr Kelly’s 182 C 670


Black Toyota Land Cruis- er, along with its 21ft x 7.6ft Graham Edwards trailer, was stolen on Saturday morning last from Kelkab Ltd in Kilcounty, where Mr Kelly is a Director. Both stolen items, which have a combined value in excess of €50,000, were removed from the Kelkab yard shortly after 11am. Continued on page 2
