There's been a slight decrease in theft and related offences across the Shannonside region last year.
CSO figures revealed just over 1,290 cases of theft were recorded by Garda divisions in Sligo-Leitrim and Roscommon-Longford.
That's a slight decrease from 1,303 incidents recorded in 2024.
Nationally, the number of burglary cases were down by 13 per cent, sexual offences dropped by 9 per cent, while weapons and explosives offences rose by 6 per cent.
Longford councillor Uruemu Adejinmi says work needs to continue locally to ensure the figures continue to drop:
