Don’t Stop The Music

609

n what appears to have been a fairly professional operation, there was an overnight attempt to rob some of the musical instruments from the town’s new South Beach Playground.

Wire cutters were used to remove two of the mallets used for the smaller, rainbow xylophone, whilst specialist screws were also loosened on other equipment, including the cajon.

Exactly what the unknown perpetrators were hoping to achieve during their night moves is unclear though, as the disconnected mallets were still on the ground this morning.

The fact that the screws on other instruments hadn’t been fully removed suggests the nocturnal visitors may have been disturbed, and fled.

The local Greystones Municipal District Office are currently examining CCTV footage, with plans now afoot to place extra cameras at the South Beach entrance side of the playground.

We’ll let you know more when we know. In the meantime, if you spoted anything suspicious down at the South Beach Playground last night, please call the local gardaí on 016665800.
