HOLIDAYMAKERS in Limerick were driven to despair after their car was stolen by opportunistic thieves.

Thatโ€™s according to Crime Prevention Officer at Henry Street Garda Station, Sergeant Ber Leetch, who explained that the robbers may have snuck into the unsuspecting coupleโ€™s hotel room while they were out.

Sergeant Leetch said that when the couple returned to their hotel room, they discovered the patio door unlocked and their car keys โ€“ along with the car parked outside โ€“ stolen.

Nothing else was taken or disturbed.
