Witness appeal as boy threatened and robbed in Ennis park

GARDAI are appealing for witnesses after money was robbed from a young teenager in Ennis at the end of last week.

On Thursday evening at 5.10pm, a 13-year-old boy who was in the Tim Smyth Park, Lifford was verbally threatened by a young male to hand over money. The boy handed money over to the man.

The boy was not physically injured in the incident, but this was very traumatic for him.

A garda spokesperson said, “This is usually a busy time in the Park and if anyone saw this incident or anyone who has any information we would ask them to contact Ennis Garda Station on 6848100.”
