Theft is always a fear when you are doing your Christmas shopping, with the average family spending €600 on gifts alone last Christmas according to the Irish League of Credit Unions, losing those gifts to a thief isn't something most families can afford.

An Garda Síochána is urging Christmas shoppers to be vigilant of theft, especially in retail car parks this month.

"Customers should be careful while shopping. Always park in well-lit and secure areas. When you leave your car, lock all doors and windows and double check to make sure. Don’t leave property or cash on view, take it with you," said Garda Sergeant Kelvin Courtney.

One family discovered this the hard way, after €700 worth of Christmas shopping was stolen from the carpark of Dundrum Town Shopping Centre. 

The goods were allegedly taken from the boot of the car by unknown thieves while the victim had a bite to eat in the shopping complex, according to a Facebook post by the victims sister. 

"Last night my little brother went shopping in Dundrum Town Centre, he had spent €700 on Christmas presents and when he was finished he dropped them out to the car went for something to eat and some little smelly runt robbed all his stuff even down to his over night bag with his pjs in it," according to the post. 

Dundrum Town Centre is working with both Tallagh and Dundrum Garda stations in the hopes of catching the culprit. 

"It's very unfortunate. There will always be people who prey on people at this time of year when they are distracted," said a Dundrum Town Centre spokesperson.

The investigation is ongoing, according to the Gardaí. 

However, Gardaí warn that carparks aren't the only place that shoppers need to be vigilant. 

"There are also over 100 thefts from customers in shops every month. Handbags are being targeted when left in trolleys or hanging on buggies."

"The handbag itself isn’t always the item that is taken, sometimes objects within the handbag are targeted too and often they are not immediately noticed missing by the owner. Mobile phones are the most commonly stolen object,” say Gardaí. 

Incidents are most common on Tuesdays and Fridays between 12 noon and 6pm, and the commonly stolen items are electronics, handbags and gifts.

With only one week left to get the Christmas shopping done, thieves could get desperate, so be sure to stay vigilant.

IT Sligo have issued a statement following the discovery of a note on campus which appears to outline a student's intention to carry out a mass shooting next month.

The note, which was made public this week, has been brought to Gardaí attention who have, according to the college's statement, conducted a series of enquiries.

The handwritten note details a student's intention to bring a firearm into an exam hall next month, with the note beginning: "I feel very sad because my class members bully me, they are a bunch of d*cks, they pick on me because my English is very bad."

"I promised myself that I’d bring a fully loaded Glock 17 and smoke them all. I bought the gun on the dark web on Silk Road. It’s going to come by the 9th of December and I’ll bring it to an exam hall on the 15th of January and use it then."

"I plan to kill six students within the period of ten minutes, slowly and painfully. I will have two magazines with equal amounts of 40 bullets," the note finished.

Commenting on the matter, IT Sligo said: "The Institute is aware of a recent incident on campus where an unsigned note was left in a classroom."

"The matter was immediately referred to the Gardaí who have conducted a series of enquiries," the statement continued.

"The safety and security of our students and staff is paramount. While the Gardaí assessment is that there is no viable immediate threat, their investigation is continuing."

"All appropriate security arrangements are in place – and the Institute continues to consult with the Gardaí on a daily basis."

Poor oul Santa was pulled over by the guards this morning as he made a trip from Kildare to Temple Street Hospital.

Gardaí tweeted a warning about the man in red, telling road users to be on alert.

"Gardaí are asking the public to be aware of this man travelling from Kildare to Temple Street hospital today. Last seen on 25/12/15."

But today wasn't the only day Mr Claus made time for the kids; he dropped into the hospital earlier this week for a quick visit with patients and their nurses, and handed out a few treats while he was there, too.

We can't wait for him to come by our homes on Christmas Eve!

Kym Owens from Castleblayney was making her way to her accommodation in the Moyglare Abbey estate when she was seriously assaulted.

Appealing to potential witnesses to come forward with any information they may have pertaining to Kym's attack, Supt. Gerry Wall offered further details which may help to jog the public's memory.

"The assault took place between 8.15pm and 8.30pm on Sunday, November 20," he explained. "The road was well lit and this is a private estate but on that night there were very foggy conditions that reduced visibility."

Supt. Wall explained that the first year Arts student had arrived back to the university town from her home town on the A2B bus service just minutes before the incident took place.

"Kym made her way from Maynooth town after she got off the bus which is about a kilometre from here Moyglare Abbey estate and travelled up here."

“She was within 500 meters of her digs when she was seriously assaulted and left unconscious on the footpath here behind me."

"Did you get on or off that bus? Did you arrive on that bus that evening or were you in the Maynooth area?" Supt Wall asked.  “Were you in the Moyglare Estate area between 7pm and 9pm? Did you see anything suspicious?"

Kym, who has been described as 5’3 in height with long brown hair, was wearing a dark green coat over a red hoodie with black jeans and white converse runners and carrying a distinctive yellow and green bag with the word ‘Castleblayney’ written on it at the time of the assault.

It has been established that Gardaí patrols have increased in the university town since Sunday night's incident while Kym remains in a stable but serious condition in Blanchardstown Hospital.

Anybody with any information is asked to contact the incident room at Leixlip Garda Station on 016667800, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666111 or any Garda station.

For anyone who thought the Dublin Bus strike may give them free rein over the bus lane during the 48-hour stoppage this week, think again.

Issuing a warning to the public this afternoon, the Gardaí reminded motorists that the same rules apply to the bus lane despite this week's industrial action.

Motorists are not permitted to use the bus lane with Gardaí reiterating that the lanes "will operate as normal during operating times."

"Although Dublin Bus services will not be operating during this time, bus lanes will continue to be used by other public service vehicles, emergency service vehicles and cyclists."

Acknowledging the stress which lies ahead for thousands of people in the city this week, they continued: "An Garda Síochána recognise that the public will face difficulties therefore commuters are encouraged to plan ahead and identify alternatives forms of (public) transport on the day."

With hundreds of thousands of bus users forced to find alternate modes of transport this Thursday and Friday, authorities urged us to exercise caution.

"There will be an increase in the number of vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians on the roads. An Garda Síochána appeal to all road users to take extra care on their journey," they said.

Let's all just stay at home, shall we?

If there's anything more heartwarming than seeing a couple of Gardaí let their hair down for a moment while on duty, we've yet to witness it.

While paroling Electric Picnic on Saturday afternoon, these two Gardaí decided to stall up and make the most of their surroundings.

And after spotting the two officers throwing a few tentative shapes to ABC's The Look of Love, one EP reveller decided to share the magic moment on social media.

And frankly, we plan to watch it any time life gets hard.

"Fair play to the two Ban Gardai! Policing as it should be! Real movers & shakers!" wrote Sean Paul O'Hare on an upload which has been doing the rounds since the weekend.

Would you look at that adorable shuffling?!
