Criminal purporting to be a garda makes off with cash in Kilkenny burglary
A criminal purporting to be a garda made off with a sum of cash following a burglary in Kilkenny.
Gardaí are investigating a break in at a shed in Jenkinstown Park on Friday morning.
Three men with their faces covered and wearing all black clothing stole a sum of cash between 9am and 9.45am.
One of the men produced a Garda page purporting to be a member of An Garda Síochána.
Gardaí are appealing to anyone who was in the area or may have further information to contact Kilkenny Garda Station.
"If you are unsure if a caller to your home is genuine ask to see their Garda id. All gardaí have an official ID badge which contains their name and photo, check that these match. You can also contact your local garda station who can confirm the identity of the caller," a garda spokesperson said.
