SIX VEHICLES have been reported as stolen from a car dealership in Darragh on the outskirts of Ennis.

A Garda investigation is ongoing after six cars were stolen from Optimum Autos in Daragh in the early hours of Friday morning.

One of these vehicles has been recovered and seized by Gardaí while the remaining five have not been located.

They are a 2014 blue Audi S3 Saloon, a 2017 navy Mercedes CLA180, a 2015 black Volkswagen Golf, a 2014 white Volkswagen Golf and a 2018 white Toyota CHR.

On Friday, a technical examination of the scene was conducted by the Divisional Scenes of Crime Unit.

Gardaí are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed suspicious activity in the area to contact them.

In a statement, a spokesperson for An Garda Síochána outlined, “Any road users with camera footage (including dash-cam) who were travelling on the N68 between 1:00am and 5:00am on Friday 22nd August 2025 are asked to make this footage available to investigating Gardaí.

“In addition, Gardaí are requesting members of the public to be vigilant for any vehicle matching those described above, which may be offered for sale, or which may be parked up in public carparks, housing estates, etc. Anyone with information is asked to contact Ennis Garda Station on 065 6848100, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station. Investigations are ongoing”.

A similar incident occurred at a garage in the past two weeks where two high-powered vehicles were stolen in Cahir, Co Tipperary.
