Gardaí are investigating an incident of theft and endangerment which occurred at a well-known hotel located in Straffan.
The matter was discussed by Garda Shane Smyth earlier today on KFM.
He said that on Wednesday, July 3 last, at around 12.50pm, a number of items were reported stolen from a delivery van parked on the grounds of Barberstown Castle.
Gda Smyth explained that a vehicle also drove towards the delivery van driver, causing them to take evasive action.
