Gardaí in Mayo have arrested two people after responding to reports of theft which are alleged to have occurred at a number of retail premises over the past two days.

The suspects, a male in his 30s and a female in her 20s, were arrested at Main Street, Castlebar, on Wednesday before being detained and questioned by officers under the provisions of Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984 at a Garda station in Mayo.

They have both since been charged in relation to this investigation and are expected to appear before Galway District Court on Thursday morning.

Investigations are ongoing into the allegations.
