TWO MEN WERE arrested last week in connection with what had been described at the time as a ‘credible threat’ made against the Intel plant in Leixlip in January.
A call had been made to the plant early in the morning on 13 January and the campus was immediately evacuated. Trained Intel security personnel conducted a search but no devices were discovered.
A garda investigation was launched which led to the arrests of the two men, who are aged 19 and 20. The Herald reports this morning that one of the men was a former employee of the company.
One source told TheJournal.ie that one of the men was also found in possession of a quantity of cannabis herb.
A garda spokesperson confirmed the two men were questioned by Detectives from Balbriggan Garda Station about the incident and later released without charge. A file has been sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
