Two vehicles were broken into last night and items stolen while parishioners attended Mass in Castlefin.
The break-ins happened while people attended Mass at St Mary’s Church in Castlefin.
Local Donegal County Councillor Gary Doherty has issued an appeal for information following the robberies.
“Unfortunately we have had yet another incident involving thieves in the area. Last night,” he said.
“Two cars were broken into at St Mary’s Church in Castlefinn while the owners were inside the chapel attending mass.
“The windows were smashed and valuables were taken from inside the cars, including handbag, purse, phone and driving licence etc.
“This was an absolutely despicable act and I hope the perpetrators are caught and brought to justice.
“I would make an appeal for anyone who may have been in the area on Saturday evening and seen anyone acting suspicious to pass any information they have to the Gardaí.
“I would also urge people to take extra caution when out and about and do not keep valuables in your car as it is clear these criminals will do anything to get them.”
