Limerick Mobile Home Owners Warned Over Seaside Caravan Park Burglaries

Mobile home owners in Limerick and surrounding coastal areas have been put on high alert following a series of targeted burglaries at three popular seaside caravan parks. Local authorities and park operators are advising residents to secure their properties as the holiday season gets underway.

The warning comes after thieves targeted multiple caravan parks along the coast, looking for easy access and valuable items left behind by holidaymakers. With the summer months approaching, these sites experience an influx of visitors, making them prime targets for opportunistic criminals looking to exploit temporary accommodation.

Three Caravan Parks Targeted

According to reports, the break-ins occurred under the cover of darkness, with suspects targeting unoccupied mobile homes. The burglators forced entry through windows and doors, searching the interiors for electronics, cash, personal items, and keys. Several items have been reported missing, causing considerable disruption and concern among the caravan community.

In response to the crime spree, Gardaí have increased patrols in and around coastal holiday parks. Park operators are also being urged to review their security measures, including upgrading CCTV coverage, improving perimeter fencing, and ensuring that access gates remain locked at all times.

Security Guidelines for Caravan Owners

Gardaí have issued specific security guidelines for mobile home owners to mitigate the risk of further incidents. These include:

• Ensuring all doors, windows, and skylights are securely locked before leaving the caravan.
• Removing all valuables, electronics, and cash from the mobile home when it is unoccupied.
• Drawing curtains or blinds to prevent passersby from seeing inside.
• Installing visible security deterrents, such as small window alarms or motion-activated lights.
• Reporting any suspicious activity or unfamiliar vehicles hovering around the parks immediately to local Gardaí.

An investigation is ongoing, and anyone who may have witnessed suspicious activity near the seaside caravan parks in the days leading up to May 26, 2026, is asked to contact Gardaí.
