Aggravated Burglary in Dundrum, Dublin on the 23/10/15

Gardaí at Dundrum Garda Station are investigating an Aggravated Burglary that occurred at Wesbury estate, Stillorgan, Co.Dublin on Friday, the 23rd October 2015.

At approximately 3.30pm, a young male occupant of the house was upstairs in his bedroom on his computer and listening to music. He heard a number of loud noises and banging sounds over his music and thought it was builders working nearby. He walked out to the landing as the noise and banging continued and made his way downstairs. He saw a male in the hallway. This man ran towards the kitchen and the attempted to get out through the back door. There was a second man in the back garden standing at the kitchen window.

The intruder attempted to make his escape out the back door but it was locked. The intruder confronted the man and hit him a number of times with a hammer on his upper arm and the side of the face.

The intruder then escaped through the kitchen window where the second intruder was waiting, they jumped over the wall into a neighbours back garden before making their way out towards the front of the estate on foot. The injured party saw the men running past his house. The front door was jammed and the injured party had difficulty opening it. When he managed to open the door he ran after the two men, he spoke to a couple in a car who told him they had seen the two men running towards a green area/small forest at the rear of the estate that leads to St.Raphaelas School. It is unclear if the men ran through the woods or escaped in a car in the estate. The injured party returned to his house and noticed money missing from his wallet. He called the Gardaí.
