Gardaí have arrested four men in relation to a number of incidents of burglary and robbery in Co Kildare in November.

Shortly before 3:45pm yesterday afternoon, gardaí responded to reports of a burglary in Newbridge. Two males, aged in their 40s and 30s, were arrested at the scene. In a follow-up operation two men, both aged in their 20s, were arrested.

The arrests are in relation to a number of robberies and burglaries in the Newbridge, Rathangan and Brownstown areas of Kildare this month.

All four men are currently detained under the provisions of Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 at Kildare and Newbridge Garda stations.

Gardaí say investigations are ongoing.
