Gardaí in Donegal are urging the public not to report crimes via social media.
They are reminding people that they do not accept reports via Facebook and messages are not monitored on a 24/7 basis.
Anyone wishing to report a potential crime is asked to contact Garda stations in Letterkenny, Buncrana, Milford and Ballyshannon.
Gardaí say 999 and 112 can also be called in case of emergencies.
