Gardaí are investigating three separate aggravated burglaries at a social housing estate for older people in Dublin.
At around 9pm last Friday night, a man forced his way into a house on Ballygall Road East in Glasnevin where he threatened and assaulted a man in his 60s at knifepoint before making off with a sum of cash.
Shortly after midnight on Tuesday, the occupants of two houses in the same estate, a man in his 80s and another man in his 60s, were threatened at knifepoint by two men, before being tied up.
The intruders escaped with sums of cash.
