A 39-year-old man was arrested at the weekend in connection with a burglary at a bookmakers in the town in the early hours of yesterday morning.
The incident took place at Boylesports on Clanbrassil Street around 12.15am on Saturday night/Sunday morning.
The man attempted to break-in to the premises, causing €200 worth of damage in the process. He felt after an alarm was activated but was apprehended and arrested a short distance away.
The man has since been charged and bailed to appear before a sitting of Dundalk Circuit Court at a later date.
