Gardai in Tipperary Town have issued some advice to the public with the onset of longer darker evenings.
The public are advised to wear hi visibility clothing if they are walking or exercising in public areas from late afternoon onwards.
Those parking cars and leaving them unattended, perhaps at meeting points for exercise, are asked to ensure the car is locked and that any valuables in the car are secured out of sight if possible.
In addition, when securing their properties at night, car owners are asked to ensure that all vehicles in driveways or outside houses, are locked and valuables removed where practicable.
