Aggravated Burglary – Castleknock, Dublin 15

Gardaí at Cabra Garda Station are investigating an incident of aggravated burglary that occurred on the afternoon of Friday 15th March 2024. 

On the day in question, shortly after 4pm, two male suspects approached a house in Castleknock Park, Dublin 15.  One of the males rang the doorbell, which was answered by the victim. The male then produced an implement, thought to be a steel bar, forced his way inside the house and was followed by the second suspect. 

The first male then proceeded to hit the victim a number of times on the head and body, while the second male searched upstairs. 

The victim’s daughter had been notified of the disturbance on her phone, and using an audio feature, informed the suspects that the Gardaí had been called.  Both suspects then left the premises.
