Burglary Investigation – Oldtown and Garristown, North County Dublin

The Gardaí at Balbriggan are investigating incidents of burglary in the early hours of Tuesday May 6th, following the May 5th bank holiday - just three weeks ago – between 2.30am and 4am.

The suspects first arrive to Oldtown in a black Audi Q3 where they reverse to the rear of the warehouse, and gained entry. After they entered the building one of the suspects is seen appear at a door and looked out towards the car park. While nothing was taken, damage was caused to the property.

The suspects then left, turned right and drove north on the R130 arriving into Garristown where they drive to a café and pub. Here the three suspects enter the café and in turn gain entry to the pub through an adjacent door. During the course of the incident the safe’s contents were removed from the pub, containing cash and a Rolex watch.

The suspects then returned to the Audi, registration number 131C9160, and leave Garristown heading north along the Main Street towards the N2. This car was taken during a burglary incident five days earlier on April 30th in the Ballinteer area of South Dublin.

Within the past week Gardaí have recovered the suspect car, the Audi Q3, in the Riversdale Grove estate in Palmerstown, West Dublin where it had been parked up for a number of days.
