Children as young as 10 involved in attempted burglary

By Maurice Garvey

TWO children were involved in an attempted burglary of a home in Terenure on Saturday afternoon.

The minors were aged 10-11-years-old and were accompanied by an adult who monitored the situation from across the road, according to an eyewitness.

At approximately 1.15pm, a neighbour heard a banging noise, and saw two minors on a side roof of a property at College Park.

When neighbours approached the house, the kids fled down the road on foot towards the KCR, followed by a man in a silver car, thought to be a Toyata Avenis.

The minors had tried to smash through a front window in broad daylight, before moving onto the side roof.

A Garda spokesman said: “Gardai are investigating an incident at College Park today at 13.13pm.  An attempt was made to break a patio door at the rear of a house.  Nothing was stolen.”
