Garda Alerts: Burglary, Fire, E-Scooter Rules | Galway News

Galway authorities are urgently seeking witnesses or footage after a home was burgled in Abbeygormican on June 29th between 1 PM and 4 PM, with a suspicious black car spotted nearby. Separately, Gort Gardaí are investigating a deliberate car fire on June 21st at Ballyboy Crossroads involving an Opel Astra Estate. Meanwhile, gardaí are cracking down on e-scooter misuse, reminding riders of strict rules: riders must be 16+, obey 20 km/h speed limits, stay on the left side of roads, and avoid footpaths. Essential safety gear and no passengers or cargo are required. Violators risk scooter seizure. With e-scooter-related brain injuries now accounting for over a quarter of pediatric neurosurgical admissions at Temple Street Hospital — many requiring intensive care or emergency surgery — gardaí are urging parents to keep kids off e-scooters and always wear safety gear if used.
