Anyone with information or footage is asked to contact Newbridge Garda Station on 045 431212.

Gardaí are investigating two incidents in the Newbridge area on Tuesday morning, 29th July, believed to be linked to a stolen white Audi A5.

Between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m., a car parked in Belmont Green, Newbridge, was broken into.

The window was smashed and an iPhone XS Max and a sum of cash were stolen.

Around the same time in Athgarvan Heights, a man started his white Volkswagen Golf (08 KE 18128) outside his home and went back inside.

When he returned, the car was gone.

Kfm understands that the stolen Golf was involved in a three-car collision in South Dublin.

In both areas, a white Audi with two to three males on board was seen trying car doors and checking houses.

Gardaí believe it may be a white Audi A5 (reg 142D8080) that was stolen in Clonee in the early hours of 27th July.

Anyone with information or footage is asked to contact Newbridge Garda Station on 045 431212.
