The incidents occurred at Dowlings Pub, Ballyshannon
Gardaí are investigating two incidents of theft from vans parked outside a Kilcullen pub last week.
The incidents occurred at Dowlings Pub, Ballyshannon on the night of Thursday 5 November between 10:08pm and 10:43pm.
The crimes were outlined by Kilcock Garda Lennie Donlon on Kildare Today's Crimewatch segment.
A grey/silver coloured Audi was being driven by the perpetrator, and was said to have come from the Athy direction and departed afterwards toward Kilcullen.
Gardaí confirmed that the same vehicle was related to both incidents of theft.
Entry was gained to both vehicles by cutting the lock on the side doors.
From the first van, a large quantity of power tools were taken, mainly manufactured by Dewalt.
A "large quantity of power tools" were also taken from the second van.
In light of the thefts, Garda Donlon says there has been an increase in break-ins from vehicles in the Kildare area, and reminded listeners to be mindful of leaving valuables in unattended vehicles over the coming months, especially with the dark evenings.
Gardaí are appealing to anyone that was at Dowlings Pub or in the vicinity on Thursday, 5 November between 10:08pm and 10:43pm and that saw the Audi vehicle there or in the general area to contact them.
It also asked for anyone who might have Dashcam footage or who has been offered any of these tools for purchase to contact Naas Garda Station on 045884300.
