Two separate alleged arson attacks have led to over €60,000 worth of damage.
Gardaí are investigating suspected arson attacks on farm machinery in Co Donegal on 15 April.
The first attack saw a tractor burnt out in the Corlea area of Pettigo along the border, between the hours of 9.20pm and 9.40pm. Several miles away, a digger was set alight in the Gortness/Bridge Road area a few hours later between 1.50am and 2.15am.

Members of the local community just outside Pettigo are said to be in shock and one member of the Community Alert group said: “Since then, another tractor has been damaged. Someone has to know something about these crimes.”
Anyone who may have seen vehicles on the Loughderg Road, Gortnessy Road or Bridge Road around these times on the night of 15 April is asked to come forward. A substantial award is being offered for information leading to the conviction of the perpetrators of these crimes.
Pettigo Garda Station is looking after the case and can be contacted on 071-986 1512.
