BRUFF and Roxboro superintendents brought largely good cheer to councillors at the last Cappamore-Kilmallock Municipal District meeting of 2020.
In a first, superintendents John Ryan and Dermot O’Connor gave their presentations remotely on a big screen in the function room of Deebert House Hotel.
Bruff Superintendent John Ryan said the Bruff district saw similar number of burglaries up to the date of the meeting – 72 in 2020; 82 in 2019. However, Supt Ryan said burglary detections had increased by 44% in 2020.
Assaults were down from 49 in 2019 to 33 in 2020. However, assaults causing harm remained very similar – 10 in 2019 to 9 in 2020.
