Return logo thief strikes at Monaghan GAA Club

A brazen individual has been captured on CCTV at the local GAA grounds in Smithboro stealing return logo bottles and cans in broad daylight.

In recent weeks the local club, Eire Og Na Mullai installed 4 bins that holds bottles and cans in an effort to raise fund for juveniles at the Monaghan club.

In a post on social media this weekend, the Smithboro GAA club said if anyone was aware of who this person was, they should contact them as he owes them a donation.

The club is appealing to other sporting groups to be aware as it’s alleged that this individual has been involved in other similar incidents at other local clubs in the county.

It’s also understood going by the CCTV footage that the perpetrator is driving a sandy colour saloon type 2009 Renault Megane.

The incident occurred just after lunchtime on Thursday the 5th of June.

The Chairperson of Eire Og Na Mullai, Paul Hand confirmed to Northern Sound that the club will be making contact with the Gardai tomorrow over the matter. 

The following statement has been issued this evening from the club: “We were deeply disappointed when we noticed the theft of our bottle return bins, which were part of our fundraising initiative for our juvenile teams.

“The bins which were placed through out our grounds are designed to collect recyclable bottles with all proceeds going directly to our juvenile fund.
