Gardai are investigating the theft of two cars from outside the same house in Letterkenny overnight.
The burglars broke into a house and stole the keys to the vehicles.
The two cars, a silver Peugeot 307 and a black Renault Clio, were taken from outside a house in the Long Lane.
The Peugeot’s registration is 07 DL 261 while the Renault’s is 12 WX 269.
The gang also stolen laptops and other items while in the house.
Nobody was hurt during the raid which took place in the early hours of the morning.
A Garda forensics team are at the scene of the burglary at present.
A Garda spokesman has appealed to anyone who was in the area at the time and may have noticed anybody acting suspiciously to contact them.
Local Sinn Fein Councillor Gerry Mc Monagle has strongly condemned those responsible for last night’s break-in.
Cllr Mc Monagle said “The Lady whose house was targeted by these thieves is one of the hardest working community activists in Letterkenny and someone who has dedicated her life to helping those who are most vulnerable in our community.
“The community of Letterkenny are very angry that this lady has become the most recent victim of these heartless thieves. I would appeal to anyone who has any information whatsoever to get in contact with the Gardai.
“These criminals must be caught. They have no place in our society, all they bring is anguish and hurt to our communities and the sooner they are caught the better,” he said.
