Fantastic news. Perhaps deserves its own thread?
I live in The Priory, hadn't used my car since Saturday night and this morning (Monday) found the contents of the glove compartment scattered over the passenger seat. Nothing missing that I can see. There was nothing of value to take. My Penneys gloves and sun glasses were of no interest. I don't think they even looked in the boot. Maybe they were disturbed.
Regardless of that, heard there was a armed robbery round 5 on Saturday at the Supervalue!!micropoodle wrote:i presume that's a joke!diggerbarnes wrote:I wonder has this site frequently advertising that fact that we're sitting ducks out here contributed to the allure?
if the armed robbers were reading this site before deciding to armed rob then surely they would have spotted the long thread about high quality CCTV in the village
A bit worrying!!
I saw it mentioned on What's App, but did anyone corroborate it? I was in there around 5.30 p.m. on Saturday and there was no sign of a problem. I was also back down in the village around 6.15 p.m. and all was quiet.padraig wrote:Regardless of that, heard there was a armed robbery round 5 on Saturday at the Supervalue!!

It definitely happened alright, was told the details by a member of staff.Ken wrote: I saw it mentioned on What's App, but did anyone corroborate it?

I was in Supervalu when it happened just before 16:45 - Extremely scary!!! One guy in a hoody with a scarf over his face who supposedly had a gun(although I ran down the isle and didn't see it!) and supposedly another guy with some kind of meat cleaver thing!!! My heart went out to the cashier...

Has the camera helped out in anyway since it was deployed?Reinventingsecurity wrote:In conjunction with this roll out in Donabate we launched a new website called http://www.selfwatch.ie , This website will allow its members a secure environment to share crime intelligence and to view incidents of crime that may be recorded by the CCTV system. We have already had a great response to the site, with numerous people registering for full membership from Donabate / Portage.
