A woman was assaulted and robbed while attending to her vehicle on the Old Dublin Road in the Curragh early last Thursday morning.

The incident occurred at around 7:15 a.m. when the woman encountered trouble with her car and stopped to check the engine.

While she was inspecting the vehicle, a man approached her, offering assistance.

In the aftermath of the attack, the woman discovered that both her phone and handbag had been stolen from her car.

The suspect is described as having an Eastern European accent.
