Moment gardai swarm over Citywest estate in Dublin as multiple arrests made

This is the dramatic moment gardai swarmed all over a Dublin estate as a number of people were arrested in connection with an aggravated burglary.

Three men were apprehended by two brave gardai in the Citywest area earlier this evening.

The men are made to lie face down on the ground before being handcuffed - Dublin Live reports.

Another video of the same incident shows a garda car racing to the scene while the garda helicopter hovers overhead.

At least six garda vehicles can be seen at the entrance to the estate where the three men are arrested while a number of shocked bystanders look on.

A garda spokesman said: "Gardaí have arrested and charged three men, all aged in their 20s, following an aggravated burglary incident at a house in the Citywest area of Tallaght, Dublin 24, that occurred on 10/05/2020 at approximately 11am.

"The three men forced their way into the house and assaulted a man, aged in his 20s.

"They were reportedly armed with a knuckle duster and a knife.

"The three men were arrested near the scene a short time later and taken to Tallaght Garda Station detained under Section 4 of the Crminal Justice Act 1984.

"All three have since been charged in relation to this incident and are due to appear before the Criminal Courts of Justice, Court 2, on 11/05/2020 at 10:30am."
