Cash snatched from pedestrian in Limerick city during broad daylight

David Hurley, 28 Jan

GARDAI at Henry Street station are appealing for witnesses to a theft

which occurred in broad daylight in the city centre just over a week

ago.

The victim - a man in his mid-thirties - was walking on Wickham Street

shortly before 1pm on Friday, January 20.

"He had cash in his hand when suddenly another male ran up, snatched

the cash from him and ran off in the direction of the top of William

Street," said Sergeant Ber Leetch.

"If anybody was a witness to this theft or any motorist with dash cam

that was driving on Wickham Street last Friday at 12.50pm, please

contact Henry Street gardai at (061) 212400," she added.

The garda advice is to keep valuables such as cash and phones out of

sight when in public areas which are busy.

"A thief is looking for something of value to steal usually jewellery

or phones as these are easy to sell on but cash is the best of all for

them so keep all cash out of sight in a zipped pocket or cross body

bag. If you take out cash from an ATM, keep in mind that somebody maybe

watching you so secure the cash before you walk away," said Sgt Leetch.
