Mother and children suffer traumatic incident in broad daylight

GARDAI are appealing for witnesses to the attempted robbery of a woman in broad daylight in front of her two children.

On Sunday, April 3, at 1.10pm the woman was walking on Drumcliffe Road, Ennis, with her two children when she was approached from behind by three males.

One grabbed her from behind and another tried to take her handbag and broke the strap in the process.

The children both had mobile phones in their hands and one of the males took these and smashed them off the ground.

While this was going on the third male was talking on a mobile phone.

This was very traumatic for the mother and her two children. If anyone witnessed this incident or anyone that may have dash cam footage gardai are asking them to contact Ennis Garda Station on 065-6848100.
