Raid on a cash in transit van at the centre on Sunday confirmed today. Two guys, midday, got away with 190K. Scary stuff!

Mad alright especially when all escorts were finished up with as its meant to be impossible to get the cash in a usable state when taken as the boxes inners explode.

Everyone knows who did it. The same scum who broke into my home & robbed from my disabled child. But as usual they will get away with it. Disgraceful. They have been terrorising Blanchardstown for far too long now.

Looking at the names the majority come from local 'gangland' families.

Nice of them all to dress up for their court appearances.

Hi,

Looking for advice.
There is a burned down vehicle at few hundred meters from where I live.I guess it happened a night ago.
Since same time,there is a red BMW parked in my front of my house blocking entrance and forcing me to park in the middle of the road,away from my CCTV cameras focus.
None of my close neighbours owe it and I blocked it with my car for 2 night now.

I may get paranoid but can I assume might be a connection to the burned car or a distraction to get my jeep away from my home !?

Thanks.

could you push it up a bit with yours or use a jack?

If it is blocking contact local Garda station.

It's very easy to do yourself for less than half the money.

Remove the registration plates on the car then contact the council.

ThisRegard · 01-02-2016 3:18pm

It might not be abandoned by the owners though, it could have been used in part of a crime and then abandoned, worth a call to the gardai first.

rolion · 02-02-2016 11:27am

Thanks to all.
It was a very verbal violent aggressive couple from WEE that came to visits one of me neighbours, living few houses down the road.
They been from Cavan, thought is free fcuking parking in the front of my house.
Had a row with them, i been threaded with "i'll kill u" and "barn your fcuking car "...then, once I called the local Garda station they went quiet. Officer on the phone advised me to don't get in verbal with them, just be calm and call the station. Actually first time when I felt happy and peaceful calling them.

Amazing how these people from WEEs think that coming here with same mentality does any good to them when, instead with screaming,a sorry and please will have done magics.

rolion · 02-02-2016 11:28am

Guys, I have a burned car, a shop "burned" down and you wonder what the neck is wee...it meant West.

No ofence, nothing personal.

I meant, if they were less stressed and explained that the came in visit and didn't realised that parking is creating troubles, I will have understood that a sorry and please, do no repeat it will do fine. But when they start screaming nd shouting I'm no more Mr. Nice.

As matter of personal favour, I have the 3 CCTV footage if you want o see it. And, a nice cup of coffee as well, while we are watching the circus.

athtrasna · 04-02-2016 1:28am

Anyone had letterbox issues? My neighbour's front panel disappeared just before Christmas and about half an hour ago my letter box opened inside and out (I know the sounds) - and did so again about 10 minutes ago. The wind would never open the inside one.

So instead of being safely tucked up in bed I'm googling letter box security! And no I'm not going to look out!

ThisRegard · 04-02-2016 10:17am

You sure it wasn't the wind? About half the ones on my street had the outside one fall off at one stage between a combination of usage and getting battered by the wind, mine included. If you had a window open at the other side of the house it could create the condition in which your inside one could flap open.

Nope, definitely not the wind. Tested it this morning, the outside one is quite loose but the Spring on the inside one is very tight, something definitely pushing it open. I had arrived home about an hour earlier so know nothing was sticking out of the box

Larbre34 · 04-02-2016 4:06pm

I think you know what the most likely explanation is.

You shouldnt be unduly frightened by it, but scoping letter boxes for access to car keys has become among the most common burglary methods. You can either fit a deflector plate that makes it impossible to see in or use a probe, or fit a letter basket. Alternatively you could fit an outside lockable post box and block your door slot up completely

Yeah, figured it could be something like that... Not sure my 04 Ford is worth the hassle though. Thing is it was pretty obvious someone was still up, it was only 11.30. Might separate my house keys from the car key from now on though, they're welcome to the car if that's what they want!

Going to replace the letter box plate anyway, the outside one has been driving me crazy in the wind

Be careful. A family member in clonee has something happen a week or so ago. This car drove in near their house (a cul de sac i think that's the spelling) at about 11.30 pm. They left and returned at 3am trying to brake into the van where the family member had his work tools

athtrasna · 04-02-2016 6:22pm

And there was I was all happy having replaced my locks before Christmas. I'm hoping it wasn't sinister but will take no chances. Off to purchase a new letter box and cage on the way home tonight

What sort of scum breaks into a Primary School >:(

One of my daughters was upset during the week discussing broken glass in her class room and telling me that bad guys came in during the night and stole things from School. Thankfully there has been no nightmares (unlike the last time it happened), but it certainly impacted her and she's an emotionally robust child. Then today the older one was lamenting how sad she feels that her teachers guitar was stolen and how their singing just isn't as enjoyable for her without him playing guitar. Its beyond disgusting >:(

January · 05-02-2016 6:15pm

Our school is regularly broken into. The summer holidays saw the computer room being cleared of it's contents.

Unless the kids were there when it happened I see no need to tell them that that is what has happened. Seems a bit weird to me.

That would have taken planning and transport

Its really disgusting.

There was smashed glass as the thief entered through the external door in her actual class room and things were missing, its unavoidable that the children were aware something had occurred.

This is awful, kids don't deserve to see this and be the victim of such things

. In which school did this happen?

handlemaster · 10-02-2016 9:03pm

Should survilance cameras be used more in public areas .. example at the entrante to housing estates etc

Gaspode · 10-02-2016 9:24pm

Not much point unless someone is monitoring them actively and there are Garda resources available to respond. That costs money so it's unlikely to happen I'd imagine.

Spar in Carpenterstown held up around 7pm, looks like Leo Varadkar was canvassing outside or nearby at the time

Day light robbery every time people shop in there.

I hope all are ok though.

Story on The Journal says Leo but comments underneath say Greens and FF were canvassing the same area and it was actually the Green's man that was on the scene as it happened, called the Gardai etc. Leo didn't show up until 5 minutes later.

All irrelevant, of course, the trend of scum holding up shops and other businesses is the real problem.

The_Valeyard · 17-02-2016 9:43am

Seems an armed robbery took place in spar last night using a sword and hand gun.

Even Leo was there to see it happen!

Luckily no one was injured and the scum will be caught.

AlanG · 17-02-2016 10:38am

On Morning Ireland this morning one of the FF canvassers said he saw it and gave chase. Then he launched into a spiel about how he was on hold to 999 for 10 minutes and Leo didn't seem concerned. He did admit that Leo told him Roderic O'Gorman had already reported it to 999.

Councillor Roderic O'Gorman interviewed on Today FM (Anton Savage show). He said that he and Jack Chambers were outside The Carpenter pub chatting before each set off on their canvass. They saw two guys run out of the Spar and into Warren Green estate through a gap in the metal fence. A Green canvasser and a FF canvasser ran after them. It sounded like they gave up when they got to the fence. Roderic rang the Gardai and gave statements when they arrived.

About 45 mins later Roderic and his team found a wallet that was stolen and then saw the culprits on the 37 bus. They rang the Gardai again and gave more statements. Bus was stopped but culprits had gotten off bus already.

chucknorris · 17-02-2016 10:44am

Howard Mahoney, a FF canvasser, spoke on RTE radio 1 this morning and admitted that Chambers was not at the scene when it happened. Varadkar called it political opportunism to suggest he was.

One more thing, Howard is an retired Garda, so how did he not know of all people to call 112 which will break any phone connection in order to give him priority.

Anyway, the actual people that experienced it were staff - but you won't see them on the media.

When you ring 112 or 999 from a mobile you are asked if there is an emergency in Dublin (or the country you are detected being in) and then another operator asks which service you want and then you report the incident (I've called 112 a number of times when around the country).

Can you please explain the "break any phone connection". The calls do not go to the Garda station so you are not encountering the 'rarely answer the phone' situation that happens in Blanchardstown.

Toto Wolfcastle · 17-02-2016 11:10am

Roderic said that Leo went into the shop to see if people were okay. He (Roderic) seems like a decent guy. He gave credit to everyone involved regardless of their party.
