Residents of a north Dublin town were left horrified when they woke up to find rubbish strewn outside their local pub after bins appeared to have been set on fire.
The incident took place outside The Manor Inn in Swords in the early hours of this morning.
Gardai and Dublin Fire Brigade attended the scene at around 2am this morning.
Disgusted residents shared pictures of the aftermath on a local Facebook group this morning.
One resident said: "That is shocking and disgusting!
"Makes our area look very bad and brings the whole community down...who in the right mind would even think of doing such things."
Another added: "Disgusting cant understand the mentality."
A garda spokeswoman told Dublin Live they were investigating the incident.
