Gardaí attached to Bridewell Garda Station, Dublin 7 made the arrests under Operation Thor. Operation Thor was launched in November 2015 with an aim of tackling preventing and detecting burglary and associated criminal activity.

This brings the total number of those brought before the courts in the last week by Dublin Gardaí as part of Operation Thor, to 29.

Over recent weeks a number of operations have been carried out in the Dublin Metropolitan Region by Gardaí in Coolock, Raheny and Bridewell.

These operations specifically targeted those who are committing the burglary of homes and businesses to profit from criminal activity.
