A Garda in his 30s was hospitalised on Sunday after being hit and dragged “a considerable distance” by a car fleeing Dundrum Town Centre. The Garda was struck by a car while on active patrol at about 6.45pm. The Garda sustained “significant soft tissue insuries to his lower leg,” but his injuries are not life threatening. The driver of the car is thought to be part of a crime group that were planning a theft in the area. Prior to the incident in Dundrum, two men in their late 40s were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit a serious offence.
