Man arrested, stolen goods recovered after 'high-value' thefts in Donegal

A man has been arrested after a spate of thefts in Donegal.

The man, in his 40s, was arrested after the PSNI carried out three searches in the Omagh area.

The operation followed a cross-border probe after the PSNI were alerted  by An Garda Síochána about recent thefts of high-value machinery, scrap metal and other items in the Letterkenny area.

Detectives arrested a man on suspicion of handling stolen goods. The PSNI have confirmed that he was later released on police bail to allow for further enquiries. 

Detective Inspector Winters said:  “From these searches a number of suspected stolen items were recovered, as well as a significant amount of cash. Electronic devices were also seized for further forensic examination. 

“Our enquiries are ongoing, and we continue to work alongside An Garda Síochána with this investigation.
