Garda appeal to catch burglars

Gardaí in Dublin are seeking the public's help in tracing two men who burgled a pensioner's flat in Rathmines area last night after attempting to rob another pensioner in Crumlin earlier in the evening.

The two men, who were in their 20s or 30s and around 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 9 inches in height, called to the home of an 81-year-old woman in Windmill Road, Crumlin, at around 3.45pm yesterday and demanded money, but the pair fled the scene empty-handed after gardaí were alerted.
