Two men arrested after attempted hijacking of car and two robberies in Co Dublin

The driver of the car was assaulted during the attempted hijacking.

TWO MEN HAVE been arrested following two robberies and the attempted hijacking of a vehicle in Co Dublin yesterday evening.

At approximately 9.30pm, two men attempted to hijack a car that was parked in the vicinity of a train station in Booterstown.

During the course of the incident, the male owner of the car was assaulted.

The suspects proceeded to take a mobile phone from the owner of the car, and fled the scene on foot.

A second robbery occurred a short distance away when two men approached a pedestrian on Booterstown Avenue.

The male pedestrian was assaulted and a number of personal items were taken from him.

Following inquiries by gardaí from Blackrock and Dundrum garda stations, two men, aged in their 30s and 40s, were arrested.

Both arrested men were taken to Dundrum Garda Station where they are currently detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984.

The stolen property has been recovered by gardaí.

Investigations are ongoing.

    Saw a placard being displayed by one of the demonstrators/protesters saying “No Farmer’s, No Food”. Never a truer statement

    China mined a record amount of coal in 2021. We banned peat briquettes and are now importing them from Latvia, on air polluting boats. Amazing stuff. How thick is it to ban the local peat briquettes but allow for their import from other countries, which is very obviously worse for the environment.
