Tens of thousands of north Dublin residents are being warned to lock up and keep an eye out as burglar bandits are on the loose in the area.
A Garda manhunt has been launched to find thugs who broke into and stole from a house in Malahide with officers fearing they may be picking out their next easy target while on the run.
The brazen hoodlums raided a home in the Gaybrook Lawn area last week stealing a large sum of cash from before fleeing the scene.
Gardai are asking anyone who has spotted any suspicious activity from November 4 onwards to come forward as it may help crack the criminals' whereabouts.
A Garda spokeswoman said: "We are investigating a burglary which occurred in the Gaybrook Lawn area, Malahide on 4 November.
"It’s believed a sum of cash was taken from the property. No arrests have been made."
She added: "No further information is available and investigations are ongoing."
