German carjacking victims offered free B&B stay

A kind-hearted businessman has offered to put up a German couple at his B&B for free as they recover from Monday’s violent carjacking in Wicklow.

The couple, both aged in their 70s, were shoved to the ground by a gang of four criminals who stole their car after their own vehicle crashed into a bus.

The couple had stopped their German-registered car to offer assistance. But the gang knocked them over before stealing their C-class Mercedes.
