Concerned members of the public in County Monaghan have taken to social media to warn others in the county to be mindful of suspicious callers to their homes and potential thieves.
In the first instance, one online contributor says there was an attempted break-in at a cattle yard in Knockatallon. "A gate was damaged in their efforts to get in" the poster wrote. Another anonymous poster warns of a grey-coloured van calling to a house in the Green Lane area offering second-hand tools for sale.
The driver alerted the property owner because he drove straight to the rear of their house and appeared visibly frustrated when the owner appeared outside their house with a dog. In both cases, the concerned local people took to social media to warn others of the suspicious behaviour in the Monaghan area in recent days.
