Garda injured after being dragged by getaway car

A garda was injured after being dragged along the road by a getaway car when he and a colleague stopped an attempted burglary taking place in broad daylight.

Gardaí have issued an appeal for information on two men who were trying to break into a private house at Davis Rd in Clonmel, Co Tipperary, at about 10.30am yesterday. It is understood they were using a crowbar to force the window of the house, which was unoccupied at the time.

They were apprehended by two gardaí who were on routine patrol and immediately got into a sky-blue Nissan Almera, registration number starting 04 D.
