Teens Arrested After Stolen Car Recovered In Greystones

Stolen car keys, balaclavas and iron bars were recovered in Ballinteer on Thursday morning.

A garda operation, carried out in the early hours of the morning, saw a car intercepted in south Dublin and three boys in their mid teens arrested.

They were detained in Ballinteer as part of ongoing investigations targeting a criminal group involved in opportunistic thefts from parked cars, burglary and related crimes.

A number of stolen car keys, wallets and bank cards were recovered from the vehicle, along with balaclavas, iron bars, torches and snoods. The car had been reported stolen following a burglary in Greystones in recent days.

The teenagers are being held at a garda station in the capital.
