Gardaí in Clondalkin are appealing for witnesses to a number of serious incidents, including a carjacking, that occurred on the R136 Grange Castle Road this Saturday night.
Shortly after 9 pm on Saturday, April 13, gardaí received reports of a man attempting to hijack a car unsuccessfully.
He subsequently approached a second car, removed the owner, and drove away from the scene.
Following a managed containment operation involving local garda units attached to the Clondalkin District and Armed Support Unit (ASU), the car was intercepted on the Katherine Tynan Road in Tallaght a short time later.
A male in his 30s was arrested and is currently detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 at a Garda station in West Dublin.
Investigations are ongoing.
Gardaí appeal to anyone who was in the Grange Castle Road area of Clondalkin at approximately 9 pm on Saturday, April 13, 2024, and who may have witnessed these incidents to come forward.
Additionally, they are appealing for those with camera footage, including dash cam footage, from the location at the time to contact Clondalkin Garda Station on 01-6667600, the Garda Confidential line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.
