SIX men have been arrested in Co. Sligo as part of garda investigations into a number of break-ins in the Westport/Kilmeena area of Mayo in recent weeks.
Four of those arrested are scheduled to appear at Westport District Court (sitting in Castlebar) on May 7.

There have been a number of break-ins to houses in the Westport, Kilmeena, Carrowholly areas in the past month.
The Ballymote suspects were traced after a car stolen in Kilmeena was traced to Co. Sligo.
It is understood that property taken in the Kilmeena break-in was found at the Ballymote location.
