Another Day, Crime doesn't pay!!

It seems daily there are ever increasing stories of the incredible work being carried out by members of An Garda Siochana.

The ERU and RSU and all Gardai involved are to be commended. Hope the injured officer involved in the high speed pursuit gets well soon.

Now i hope the courts do their bit.


Gang sought after Dublin abduction & robbery
Friday, 28 May 2010 16:48
Gardaí are searching for a gang of five men who abducted the wife of a bank employee and tried to rob €100,000.

The plot was foiled after armed officers from the Organised Crime Unit and the Emergency Response Unit stopped a car with the cash and arrested a man in his 20s.

The woman was released unharmed and has since been reunited with her husband.

Gardaí say further arrests are expected.

Minister for Justice Dermot Ahern has congratulated the gardaí on the success of the operation and said it underlines the importance of following the agreed protocols.

A gang of five armed and masked men forced their way into the home of an employee of the Ulster Bank on Sundrive Road in the early hours of this morning.

They took the man's wife away in the boot of the family car and forced him to go to work and get them money.

He was given a bag and a phone and the gang called him at work and told him where to leave €100,000.

He left the money in his car on a road in Harold's Cross, which was then collected by a man and transferred to another car.

The gardaí had been alerted and set up an operation led by the Organised Crime Unit, backed up the Emergency Response Unit.

When the money was collected the man's wife was released unharmed in Ratoath, Co Meath.

As soon as gardaí were sure she was safe, they moved in and arrested the man with the bag of cash.

He is from Dublin's south inner city and known to gardaí. He is being questioned at Crumlin Garda Station and can be held for up to seven days.

Minister Ahern expressed his sympathy to the couple.

IBOA General Secretary Larry Broderick said the attempted robbery was 'a further example of the return of a disturbing trend which is causing anxiety and concern to bank staff throughout the country.'
