More info Gardaí have arrested a man in connection with a carjacking and two robberies that occurred in Dublin and Wicklow last night. The apparent crime spree began when a man approached a vehicle outside a commercial premises in Walkinstown around 7:45pm and threatened a woman in her 30s who was driving the car. He drove away in the vehicle, which was a black Nissan Qashqai with a 141-MH registration. Around 30 minutes later, gardaí responded to reports of a robbery at a business premises in Bray, where a man entered the store brandishing an implement and threatened staff before stealing a quantity of alcohol. After another half-an-hour, there were further reports of a separate robbery at a commercial premises in Rathnew, Co Wicklow, in which a man threatened staff with an implement and took a sum of cash. Gardaí believe that the vehicle used for both robberies was the Nissan that had been stolen in Walkinstown earlier yesterday evening. A man aged in his 40s has been arrested in connection with the investigation, and gardaí are appealing for anyone who may have witnessed the incidents to come forward. “Gardaí are appealing for witnesses following three incidents in the Dublin and Wicklow areas yesterday, Saturday 26th April 2025,” said a spokesperson for An Garda Síochána. “A man aged in his 40s was arrested this morning, Sunday 27th April 2025, in connection with the investigation, and detained pursuant to Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984 in a Garda Station in the Dublin area. “Investigations are ongoing,” they added. “Any person who was travelling on the St. Peter’s Road area of Walkinstown, Dublin 12, on Saturday 26th April 2025 between 7.30pm and 8pm is asked to contact investigating gardaí. “Gardaí are particularly interested in the movements of a 141-MH registration black Nissan Quasquai travelling in the areas of Walkinstown, Dublin 12; Bray, Co Wicklow; and Rathnew, Co Wicklow between 7.30pm and 9.30pm on the evening of Saturday 26th April 2025. “Additionally, road users or pedestrians who may have camera footage (including dash-cam) are asked to make this footage available to gardaí.” Anyone with information is asked to contact Tallaght Garda Station 01 666 6000, the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111, or any Garda station.
