Gardaí have launched an investigation following the theft of tools from a van parked in a County Kildare housing estate.

Details of the crime were discussed on a KFM radio programme which aired earlier today (June 4).

Garda Lenny Donnellan of the Kilcock / Carbury Garda Division told host Eoin Beatty that the incident took place in the early hours of Friday, May 30 last in the Doorley Park region of Rathangan.

He explained that a van was broken into by the perpetrator(s), who proceeded to steal "a large quantity of tools" from the van.

Gda Donnellan also said that gardaí are appealing for CCTV and / or dashcam footage from nearby residents in relation to this incident.

He concluded by calling on anyone with information to Kildare town Garda Station on 045 527 730.

When asked by the Leinster Leader about this particular crime, a garda spokesperson said: "Gardaí received report of an incident of theft that occurred at approximately 1.40am on Friday, May 30, 2025 outside a premises at Doorley Park in Rathangan, County Kildare."

The spokesperson added that "investigations are ongoing".
