Four people, including three teenagers, were arrested last night in connection with an aggravated burglary and kidnapping in Dublin.
The incident happened at about 11.30pm at a house on Botanic Avenue in Glasnevin.
Five people entered the house, ransacked it and stole some property. They also falsely imprisoned a 21-year-old man, taking him at knifepoint to his car and driving him to two separate ATM machines. He managed to escape but his car - a light blue coloured Opel Corsa with the registration number 07MH1295 - is still missing.
No one was injured during the incident and some of the property taken in the robbery has been recovered.
After a follow up investigation, three men aged 15, 16 and 18 years were arrested close to Botanic Avenue. They were taken to the Bridewell and Store Street Garda stations where they were detained under section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act.
The 15-year-old boy was released late yesterday and a file has been prepared and forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
The other two people appeared in Dublin District Juvenile Court earlier today and have been remanded in custody for a week.
A fourth arrest was made this afternoon when a 15-year-old boy was arrested. He is custody being held at the Bridewell Garda station.
Anyone with information regarding the robbery is asked to contact gardaí at Mountjoy Garda station on 01-6668600.
