Gardaí hosting property recovery day

IN an effort to reunite property recovered by An Garda Síochána with owners and to provide support to victims of crime, a Garda National Property Recovered Day will take place in Mayo this Thursday, September 22.

The main Mayo event is being held at Breaffy House Hotel for the garda districts of Westport, Castlebar and Claremorris.

There will also be a recovery day at Belmullet Garda Station for the Ballina and Belmullet districts. Both venues are running from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

While most property recovered by An Garda Síochána is immediately returned to its owners, particularly in the recovery of property stolen in the course of theft and burglaries, there are cases where An Garda Síochána is unable to identify the owner and the property remains in garda custody.

Property is available to view online via the garda website, www.garda.ie.

A comprehensive list of locations, times and services provided (Crime Prevention Officers and Victims Services, Age Action Ireland) is available online on www.garda.ie.
