New CCTV system helping ga rd ai in their fight against criminals

GARDAI say that the Louth County Council CCTV systems - which are back operational in estates around Drogheda - are helping them in the ongoing fight against criminality.

Gardai are investigating four arson attacks in the past two weeks, most of them unrelated.

They are also not believed to be part of the feud in the town.

But Supt Andrew Watters (pictured) admits that it is a ‘worrying development’ and something the gardai are keeping a very close eye on.

Checkpoints in the whole area have been stepped up, with armed gardai also part of the operations.
