Couple brought two young children with them to carry out carjacking

Gardaí are searching for a couple who brought two young children with them as they carried out a planned assault and car theft in Co Meath.

The carjacking occurred after the couple arranged to meet an individual who was selling his car — a 142-reg Mercedes C class — at a graveyard in Dunshaughlin village last Sunday evening.

A Garda spokesman said the victim had advertised his car for sale and arranged to meet with a prospective buyer at the graveyard, which is opposite St Seachnall’s National School.
