TWO MEN HAVE been arrested near Kilbeggan in Co. Westmeath in connection with an attempted armed robbery in the Dublin suburb of Clonsilla.
They were intercepted by officers from the Traffic Corps and the Regional Support Unit some 40 minutes after the failed raid at a post office on the Clonsilla Road.
The alarm was raised at around 10.20am, after two men armed with a handgun and a hammer entered the post office and threatened staff.
They left the scene empty-handed and sped away on a motorbike. However, their movements were tracked by gardaí, and they were intercepted shortly before 11am on the M6 near Kilbeggan.
Both men are aged in their early 20s. They’ve been taken for questioning to Blanchardstown Garda Station where they’re being held under Section 30 of the Offences against the State Act.

well done to the Gardaí involved.
Clever policing followed by an excellent arrest. No bystanders or Gardai getting hurt. Congratulations.
Pity they didn’t accidentally fall off the stolen motorbike and get shredded.
Why would they get me, what the hell did i do?
Nah – then a poor biker would get his beloved bike back in bits. Today’s result was perfect.
I hope it was the on-board tracking device that helped the guards. A warning to all you bike stealing toerags – most bikers now use them & now they all know where you live!
Well done the traffic corps. Not only saving lives. Two great captures in a week. Great work
what’s a Clushie???
You illiterate moron…
Fair play Mr Dyslexia! Look at how he actually spelt the word! Illiterate means you can’t read by the way….. Epic epic fail
*spelled. Spelt is wheat.
Bockeys Jollox just got owned. Epic epic fail.
Illiterate means you can’t read OR write, my little thicko!
Hahaha, the trolls are really getting owned today
Not for the 1st time a culchie needs to come to Dublin to get money!
they were probably up paying your sister….
Usually it’s up to work for money because you skangers are usually on the dole and too useless to actually work for a living.
Lol
Now! now! “Ryan of the air” that’s uncalled for. Season of good will and all that.
Ryan..lot of usually’s in that sentence. Usually you are full of SH 1 T, go back to bog trotting, cabbage munching and turnip peeling, you red neck.
Ryan you are after upsetting poor old Elmo and by his posting, I’m surprised he had the intelligence to string that piece of garbage together !!
I’d say a lot of things surprise you, like people in the big smoke don’t go around riding their female relations or animals. BTW, in your opinion, which is better?
A Dublin Slapper is hard to beat!!
If all culchies do is come to Dublin, Why is Navan infested with skanger morons?? Cause it is!!
Bog trotting…is that like riding a horse and a brisk walking speed through a peat bog? Sounds delightful…
Cabbage munching and turnip peeling,
I suppose munching is something one would do if it’s raw, I rather like raw cabbage sometimes.
Now turnip peeling..yeah, a good idea to peel it is suppose, the skin is quite unappetising and chewy.
Thanks for all that…
Now you should go back to your microwave meals and joy riding down the estate before you’re missed by your can swigging, shiny runner, hand down the front of their track suits, hooded knob jockey mates.
He pretends not to know what bog trotting is, when he is in fact the Olympic champion bog trotter from bally-go-bog-backwards.
Al least you admit you are a cabbage muncher and turnip peeler, fair play to you.
Unfortunately I don’t have a microwave, and in any case the Chef is in charge of meals. I don’t joy ride but cruise in my Bentley. I swig alcohol alright, but from bottles of Champagne bottles not cans. I do not own a tracksuit (unlike your O’Neill’s one in Bog County colours).
Dublin would starve itself to death without “culchies” I’d like to see half them skangers try to grow any food
We’d import it from elsewhere you fool.
Elmo is a rat. That says it all about you. Jackeen scangers are all over the country now.
The fittest city in the world I heard recently from a guy who visited Dublin for the first time. No I said its just scangers in track suits.
Are you serious. I thought they liked to torture and burn people in Dublin as well as a few horse barbies.
It’s a hole lad. Get over it and embrace it like Elmo and the bhoys.
SCANGERS!!
Navan is a scanger suburb of dublin as is everywhere else they get housed in a reasonable distance. Just close enough to the sister and with a nice patch of land for the piebald pony.
Elmo the only thing ye scangers seem to know about the food chain is to burn anything that moves and hoping for you sisters in pjs to feed ye!!
ya coz importing food constantly is a perfectly sustainable option…go get an education
Lots of dodgy characters hanging out in here! Thanks for the Laugh’s lad’s
This is big news in the it’s unusual for scangers to be LEAVING Dublin following a burglary.
If he was anymore inbred he’d be a sandwich
To all the inbred, unhygienic animal rapist (sheep shaggers) culchies on here slagging of the capital. Your just really really jealous. You all flood into the capital in your droves this time of year. Stinking up the place. It won’t be long before the Irish version of Fritzel is found down the country side. P.s. Dublin is the Capital and we are all Ireland champions.
Now is there something to be said for another mass
Dirty smelly imbred culshies
At least culchies can spell “inbred”.
No only can they spell it, they are masters of the physical act.
Vodka soaked, dole queing jackeens
Looking at the urban rural divide here, One thing is clear there are Gobsh1ts in both camps. Well done to you all.
Anyone for the last chic ice ?
North men south men comrade’s all ! No wonder we don’t march and protest. Vicious comment’s here and no unification because of the old Dublin vs the rest of the country. Hope we grow up some day and be a nation.And hope that lad gets his bike back soon.
Hysterical
