Gardaí have arrested and charged a man in relation to a burglary in Killarney.
The incident occurred last March when gardaí in Killarney received a report from a staff member that her purse has been stolen from a staff-only section of a shop located on the Tralee Road.
Gardaí attended and found the purse in the bin of the gents' toilets. The contents of the purse had been taken.
A second purse, belonging to a second employee, was also located in the same bin.
An investigation was carried out by uniform and detective gardaí which resulted in the arrest yesterday of a man, aged in his 30s.
He was detained at Killarney Garda Station under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984 and has since been charged.
He is due to appear before the courts at a later date.
