Gardaí issued an appeal to dog owners to take extra crime prevention measures when it comes to caring for their pets, particularly high-value breeds of dogs, following a number of thefts.

Gardaí are asking dog owners to have your dogs microchipped.

Keep dogs effectively controlled including movements within domain. Carry out regular checks about the home and perimeter.
Consider technology uses to deter, detect movement eg: monitored camera in area dog secured.
Report any suspicious behaviour immediately.

"Report suspicious vehicles to Gardaí and use Community text alert to notify your neighbours," gardaí said.  See https://lnkd.in/d8bDfCM
