A man is due before Letterkenny District Court this morning over the weekend theft of a charity donation box at the Whoriskey’s Christmas Lights display in Kerrykeel.
The box was stolen at around 9pm on Saturday night.
Gardaí in Milford were alerted to a theft with investigations commencing locally – they were later assisted by Letterkenny District Detective Unit.
Within four hours of the initial call Gardaí recovered the donation box along with the substantial amount of money.
A man in his 20s was arrested and charged in connection with incident and will appear before the court later.
