Tipp people told be careful what they put on social media

With the holidays, many people travel to visit family and friends, leaving their homes empty with some people posting their plans online

Gardaí say this information can lead criminals to target homes that they know will be empty with valuables inside. 

Crime Prevention Officer for Tipperary, Sergeant Tom O'Dwyer says that giving out too much information on sites such as Facebook and Twitter can alert thieves to your home being unoccupied or having valuables in it.
