It is estimated that tools with a combined value of over €70,000 were taken during the course of six burglaries and one attempted burglary across the Dublin City Centre, Dublin 3, Dublin 22 and Dublin 24 areas, between Saturday October 5 and Friday October 18, 2024.

As part of an intelligence-led operation, Gardaí arrested the men, two are aged in their twenties and one in his thirties at a building site in the Liffey Valley area of Dublin, in the early hours of Friday morning.
