If it happens all the time why is it news now?

Kylo Ren

That money was just resting in his bank account.

I don't think it was stolen, The news reported that there was a "hole in the evidence bag" Case closed! :pac:

Do the 'quotes' imply that the money wasn't really stolen?

Gardai have released an image of the suspects.

I heard that 2 eastern european males (non-Gardai), possibly Roma, were seen fleeing the station recently. There are 12 Garda witnesses to this event!!

Money stolen from Garda Station and who is investigating it, ahh yea, the gaurds themselves, thats grand then.!

Cee-Jay-Cee

Feck sakes lads, sure wasn't there a hole in the bag! I blame the dept of justice for providing the guards with poor quality and probably imported evidence bags.

Look for the person that made bail at a sureity of, you guessed 9,000 Euro

they have to wait; for the filth to arrive

They should look down the back of the interrogation sofa, and they'll probably find a few missing socks as well, and some Taytos and M&Ms.

Mardy Bum

Herc and Carver must have been on the job.

Someone probably needed to pay their second mortgage on the buy-to -let property. I blame Shatter and his cuts.

The hole in the bag :rolleyes: they should follow the trail like Hansel and Gretel

Tom Brady Security Editor– 21 March 2013
GARDAI have launched an investigation after €9,000 disappeared from an evidence bag at a garda station.
A small tear was found in the bag that held a large quantity of cash recovered several weeks ago after a post office robbery.
A major investigation is now under way into how the cash went missing at Balbriggan garda station -- with forensic officers examining the bag to determine whether it was cut open.
The money in the bag was the suspected proceeds of an armed robbery at a post office in Lusk, north Co Dublin, last January.
Armed raiders made off with €26,000 after holding up staff at the premises, but the haul was recovered soon afterwards.
Detectives on an anti-crime patrol responded to an emergency call about the raid and intercepted the gang as they were making their escape.
After the cash was taken by gardai to Balbriggan station in Dublin, it was bagged and tagged after being photographed for use as evidence in a subsequent criminal trial.
The money was then placed in a safe at the station.
However, when the owner of the premises called to seek the return of the money, gardai discovered a small tear in the side of the bag.
The contents of the bag were checked and it was discovered that €9,000 had disappeared.
A thorough search of the station was carried out and members who handled the money were interviewed.
But none of the missing cash has been traced.
The garda authorities have now appointed a senior officer from outside the division to head a formal investigation into the disappearance of the cash.
One officer said last night that it was too early yet to say whether the cash had been stolen again while in garda storage.
But there was no evidence to indicate that it had been mislaid.
In the January raid, three thugs held up four members of staff and two customers at gunpoint, and locked the staff in a back room while the customers were ordered to lie on the floor.
They ran out with the money and jumped into a getaway car. But before they could drive off, gardai blocked their exit.
The gang locked themselves into the car, but gardai eventually smashed the windows of the vehicle and pulled out the suspects.
The post office money was recovered inside the car.
The post office also operates as a Costcutter shop. Two raiders were shot dead at the premises during a botched robbery in May 2005.
Robbers Colm Griffin and Eric Hopkins were gunned down when they confronted members of the Emergency Response Unit.

Maybe if they used a case and not a bag, this might not have happened

I'll save the Gardai Siochana and their sycophants here the bother by saying "shur there's bad apples in every barrel"

Two fellas were killed for stealing that before it became evidence, if it was stolen I hope the prick that took it dies screaming too.

That was a raid back in 2005 at the same premises, and it's a pity more scummers don't get lead poisoning rather than being put through the revolving door justice system.:mad:

If it was a Garda who stole it then he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. If you want to use it as an excuse to bash all Gardaí that's up to you. Don't expect anyone with intelligence to listen though.

Who died? I think you are thinking of the wrong case. This is the case in question.

You are probably thinking of the two scumbags from 2005.

Yeah I'm more intelligent then you are. Now that we've got that out of the way its quite clear there's a culture of lawlessness in the GS. Whether its crashing cars whilst pished on the M50, beating up skangers in their bedrooms or robbing old grannies, the GS have way too many indescretions racked up for it to be just a 'few bad apples', the culture in the force is definitely one of do as I say not as I do.

baldbear

Maybe theres a simple explation such as the station kitty had no funds and one of the lads used a few euro to buy milk, teabags and expensive biscuits.Perfectly believable.

mikehammer67

just seen it on the news;

cash with a 'street value' of 1 MILLION euro
missing from garda station

suspects seen leaving in squad car

wow crazy stuff.

I remember as a kid really look up to the Gardai thinking they were superheroes, unfortunately as an adult the sad reality is that our gardai are nothing more the corrupt street urchins.

A complete overhaul is needed, there has to be a regulation body put over AGS, and the cheek of AGS demanding more money after all this, laughable.

Just to clarify. You believe all Gardaí are involved in this theft?

Well not just this but in all the stuff that has come out recently about AGS a lot of gardai have looked the other way or backing their buddy. As a whole yes I bet there isn't one gard out there that has let a colleagues wrong doing slide.

To many cowards in the force that won't stand up to the criminals in the uniform.

They're a law upon themselves and can do what they want, this needs to change because at the moment AGS is just one big 'members' club.

jonsnow

The suspects are known to the Gardai and are considered professional thieves

I was behind them for 2Km on the motorway before they decided to turn on their headlights.. The proceeded around several roundabouts and junctions without indicating Who do I report this to?
