Update on Mohill attempted burglary

Two of the men detained at Carrick-on-Shannon Garda Station in connection with incidents at Mohill where a Garda patrol car was rammed, have been released from custody.
Both men - one aged in their 30s and the other aged in his 20s - were released without charge at 9.25am today, January 9 and a file is to be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
A juvenile male (late teens) remains in Garda custody.

Meanwhile a fourth man who was involved in the road traffic collision on the Mohill to Drumlish Road remains in hospital.

Gardaí continue to seek a fifth individual in connection with this matter and are appealing to the public for information.

Earlier the gardaí had reported that they were investigaing an attempted burglary at approximately 4.30am on Wednesday, January 8, 2020.

Uniform Gardaí on active patrol in the Mohill area had their patrol car rammed by one vehicle at the scene of the attempted burglary. Occupants of the car involved in the initial collision fled in a second car in the direction of Drumlish.

This car crashed a short distance away. Gardaí went to the scene of this collision and found one male in the vehicle with serious injuries.

Emergency services were alerted to tend to this man, who is in his 30s. He was conveyed to Sligo University Hospital where he is being treated for serious but non life threatening injuries.

Up to four suspects fled the scene of the collision on foot, and Gardaí engaged the services of the Malin Coastguard in the search for these suspects as the Garda Air Support was engaged in a separate incident.

Gardaí are appealing for anyone who was travelling along the Mohill to Drumlish Road approximately 1km from Mohill who may have seen individuals on that road to make contact with them.

In particular they wish to speak with anyone who may have given a lift to an individual or people on Wednesday morning.

Anyone who was in the vicinity of this incident, and who may have video footage or information regarding suspicious activity in the Mohill area is asked to contact Gardaí at Carrick-on-Shannon (071) 9650510, the Garda confidential line 1800-666-111 or any Garda Station.
