As part of an ongoing investigation into a number of burglaries at building sites in across the Dublin region, Gardaí attached to the Crime Unit at Store Street Garda Station have arrested and charged three men, in the Dublin 22 area, on Friday 18th October 2024.

It is estimated that tools with a combined value of over €70,000 were taken, during the course of six burglaries, and one attempted burglary, across the Dublin City Centre, Dublin 3, Dublin 22 and Dublin 24 areas, between Saturday 5th and Friday 18th October 2024.

As part of an intelligence-led operation, Gardaí arrested three men (two aged in their 20’s and one in his 30’s) at a building site in the Liffey Valley area of Dublin, in the early hours of Friday 18th October 2024.
