The crimes occured in locations right across the county, including Ennis, Shannon, Ennistymon, O'Callaghan's Mills, Sixmilebridge and Broadford.
There were also a high number of burglaries in the county last week, and Gardai are warning householders that there is traditionally a spike in break-ins as Christmas approaches.
Clare Crime Prevention Officer Joe Downey says there are basic security steps people can take.
