Officers raided a house in Buncrana today following thefts from cars and attempted house burglaries in the Cloncool estate.
Two men have been taken to the town’s Garda station for questioning.
They were detained in the same area where the crimes took place.
The incident follows growing anger across County Donegal at raids on pensioners homes.
The Ballyshannon armed Regional Response Unit is still hunting a gang which robbed 77-year-old Gerry McDevitt in Glenties on Thursday.
The gang made off with his shotgun.
It’s understood Gardai are working around the clock to trace the gang behind a spate of attacks in east Donegal.
