Shocked housemates awake to find their three cars stolen during early morning raid

Three housemates in Dublin were left in a state of shock yesterday morning when they awoke to discover that all of their cars had been stolen from the car park at their apartment complex.

One of the vehicles was just six weeks old, while the other two vehicles were also relatively new and worth a lot of money. The three cars stolen were a 162 Audi A4, a 2012 Volkswagen Scirocco and a 132 BMW 1 Series M Sport.

The theft happened at the Abbeyfield Complex in Milltown, a wealthy area of south Dublin.

The Independent.ie report that the keys for the three cars were left inside the apartment, and one of the occupants, Dermot Donaghy, awoke to notice people walking around the car park outside their apartment at around 5am yesterday morning. He contacted Gardaí, and though they arrived within five minutes, the thieves had already escaped with the vehicles.

Gardaí believe that the housemates may have been targeted by the criminals as all vehicles were of high value and would be easy to sell on.
