Gardaí Seize Stolen Audi Used In Burglaries Across Kildare And Dublin Over The Weekend

A commercial premises in Ardclough was broken into, while on Friday another car stolen from Wicklow was used as part of a break-in at a cafe in Kill.

Gardaí have seized a stolen Audi used by a gang responsible for a number of burglaries in Kildare and surrounding counties over the weekend.

The car was taken from Meath on Friday morning.

According to the Irish Independent, it was used alongside a Ford Fiesta to carry out a string of burglaries across Dublin and Kildare on Saturday and Sunday.

The gang also tried to ram a garda patrol car off the road.

A commercial premises in Ardclough was broken into, while on Friday another car stolen from Wicklow was used as part of a break-in at a cafe in Kill.

The gang's ringleader is an 18-year-old from Ballyfermot.

They are referred to as the “Lucky Dip” gang after gardaí learned that they use google maps to target random locations across Leinster.

Gardai have been able to identify members of the gang, some as young as 16, after they uploaded footage of their actions to social media platforms.
