Burglary suspects kept in custody

Two local teenagers, believed by Gardai to be responsible for between 20 and 30 burglaries around Athlone, were both remanded in custody in the District Court last Tuesday (December 2 ) and will re-appear in a fortnight.

James Fallon (19 ), Castlesampson, Taughmaconnell and Kevin Hourigan (19 ) from Columbus Terrace, Athlone were having their first scheduled court appearance after being remanded in custody at a special sitting of the court on the previous Saturday (November 29 ).

Fallon had sought bail but, like his co-accused, consented to the maximum 14 days additional custody when the State objected to his application. Both will re-appear on December 16.
