Three Men Arrested After County Kildare Shooting Incident
Three men have been arrested in connection with a firearms incident in Co Kildare on Monday night, 06 November.
At approximately 9.30pm last night, Gardaí observed a black Audi estate car with a partial registration number 151 G driving at speed through Monasterevin over the draw bridge, Main Street and on towards the Kildare Road. This car was observed driving at speed by a number of Garda units.
A short time later the black Audi was observed by a Garda unit at a location known locally as Ashgrove. This car was then followed by Gardaí. It then stopped on the road at Larch Hill. The front seat male passenger exited the car, produced what Gardaí believe was a shotgun and discharged a shot. No persons were injured during the incident.
A number of armed Garda units were aware of this incident and at 10.30pm Gardaí from the Regional Support Unit stopped a silver Hyundai car at Pollardstown, Newbridge.
Three men, aged 23, 27 and 32, were arrested in connection with the earlier incident and are currently detained at Portlaoise and Tullamore Garda Stations under the provisions of Section 30 – Offences Against the State Act 1939.
Investigations are continuing.
