Man escapes custody ahead of court hearing

It’s understood he escaped in a waiting car.

A MAN DUE to appear before Cloverhill District Court today has absconded from custody.

The incident happened this evening when the man’s case was up for mention at the court in west Dublin.

Sources have told TheJournal.ie that the man has not yet been accounted for and is wanted by the authorities. The Garda Press Office said that it was not aware of the case as yet.

Investigations are ongoing.
