Gardai appealing for information on three crimes in Clane area over Christmas

Gardai in Clane are appealing to the public for any information they may have on three separate crimes in the Clane and surrounding areas over the Christmas period.

The most serious incident involved the assault of a man on Christmas night who was on his way home from a Christmas party in a house before he was attacked outside the Maxol garage on the Dublin Road. The man was by himself and required a number of stitches to his head following the attack.

Gardai are also investigating another assault that occurred at Donadea Forest Park on 27 December in which a male was injured. The man received only minor injuries, and although Gardai know of all parties involved in the incident, they are appealing for witnesses to come forward with any information they may have.

A burglary in Blacksallies, Prosperous is also being investigated by Gardai. The break-in occurred on 22 December some time between 8.20pm and 11.30pm. A door at the side of the house was forced open and the house was searched, though nothing was stolen.

Anyone with any information on any of these incidents is asked to contact Clane Garda Station on 045 868 262.
