Porter treated for shock as thieves leave empty-handed

GARDAI were yesterday hunting a team of thieves who attempted to rob a Dublin city-centre hotel.

But while the three raiders seemed to be well organised, they got away with nothing of any value. However, a night porter was treated for shock after he was subjected to a terrifying ordeal.

The pre-dawn raid took place at Chief O’Neill’s Hotel in Dublin’s newly rejuvenated Smithfield, on the northside of the quays.
