Cllr Dolores Minogue, Cathoirleach of Ardee Municipal District called it a "mindless act".
“It is very disappointing to hear that the sandbags were removed without permission. Everyone at Louth County Council has been working hard to protect residents, properties and businesses during the recent bad weather, and it is upsetting to think that somebody would carry out such a mindless act that may have caused significant damage to members of the community," she said.
Louth County Council confirmed the matter has been reported to An Garda Siochána and is under investigation.
