GARDAÍ HAVE APPEALED for witnesses to the alleged assault and robbery of a man by youths in Dublin.
Shortly before 8pm last Sunday, 8 December, a man in his 30s was allegedly “threatened and assaulted” by six youths at Grand Canal Banks in Clondalkin, according to gardaí.
An electric scooter was taken during the incident but was later recovered by gardaí.
Four youths were arrested and were taken to Ballyfermot and Clondalkin Garda stations where they were detained under the provisions of Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984.
All four have since been released without charge pending files being prepared for the Juvenile Liaison Officer.
Gardaí are appealing to anyone who was in the area between 7.30pm and 8.30pm, who may have witnessed this incident to come forward.
They are particularly appealing to any road users who were travelling on the road at the time with camera footage to make this available to them.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Clondalkin Garda station on 01 666 7600, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda station.

Lugs Brannigan, only language they understand.
Anyone in the Grand Canal Banks area between 7:30pm and 8:30pm would need their head examined. Only time you can enjoy this wonderful amenity is early in the morning.
@Peter B: such a pity…
These thugs will never be held accountable for their crimes by the courts or by their parents. In my day my old man would have raised 50 shades of red on my behind with his belt for that type of behaviour. It was punishment like that which acted as a deterrent for me. I was no angel but fear of consequences from my dad kept me out of serious trouble.
@Keith Wilson: most of these wasters have no idea who their dads are
They where caught half hour later with the scooter and released later that night charges pending ,radio nova
If this happened to me I’d only show up to court to find our their names and addresses. Knowing (just as they do) that theyll never receive any kind of punishment. Then I’d set about dishing out justice myself. Im forever reading about these animals and the horrific stuff they do to people only to be referred to in court as “children” and walk away scott free. They always have 80+ offences and thats only becsuse they fully know theyll get no real punishment.
Last Sunday was the 5th of December not the 8th of December ffs
The date is incorrect
It’s free reign for these horr8ble di$gusting little pond spawn. It will never change until they actually have something to fear….a proper jail term might be a start
have your say
