Five people have been arrested in Dublin in connection with an aggravated burglary last month, during which a family was held captive. Two masked men broke into a house in Coolock on October 2nd, armed with a handgun and a machete. The woman was taken to a restaurant she ran in the Artane Castle shopping centre. She was forced to give up the weekend takings, while her husband and two children were held.
Four men and one woman were arrested yesterday and are being detained under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act.
