Four balaclava-clad men arrested after major Garda operation in Wicklow
The Wicklow PeopleFour men have been arrested following a Garda operation in north Wicklow after the occupants of a vehicle fled on foot on Friday night.
In a post on social media, gardaí said they received a report of a vehicle travelling on the N11 before taking Exit 8 at Kilmacanogue onto the Roundwood Road.
The vehicle was carrying four occupants, all of whom were wearing balaclavas.
When the vehicle reached Powerscourt Waterfall, all four men abandoned the car and fled on foot, sparking a large-scale Garda search.
It is believed the search centred on the Enniskerry and Glencree areas and lasted several hours before all four men were apprehended and arrested.
Gardaí received assistance from units based in Bray, Wicklow and the Dublin Metropolitan Region East.
Files are now being prepared in relation to the incident.
