A COUPLE WHO stopped to help out after a collision this afternoon ended up having their own car stolen – by one of the people they tried to help
The gardaí air support unit were searching for the culprits this evening.
The incident began at 2.30pm this afternoon at Clara Vale, Rathdrum, when a bus and a black Volvo collided.
A German-registered black Mercedes C180 stopped to lend assistance at the scene – and the four male occupants of the black Volvo stole the car.
A female passenger in the Mercedes received slight injuries in the incident.
The stolen vehicle left the scene in the direction of Glendalough, and gardaí are investigating reports that the Volvo had been involved in a burglary earlier in the Athy area of Carlow.
The black Mercedes has now been located in Tullow Co Carlow, and is being preserved for technical examination.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact Wicklow Garda Station on 0404 60140.

Not to be a spoil sport but- I was always told it’s illegal to collect frogspawn?
@Kevin Hill: me also
@Colin Keogh: for educational purposes its aloud as far as I know
@Kevin Hill: It is here but schools are allowed for educational purposes. This was in NI.
@Kevin Hill: they were on ground that was drying so were going to die. Did the same myself in early march and have a few thousand tadpoles in a pond which I’ll be releasing as soon as they are frogs. Could have been famous too!
@Kevin Hill: ah whisht you
She’s delightful ! At least she didn’t waste her COVID months in and out of the off license unlike some …ahem
Illegal… Jesus every child the far side of the red cow collected tadpoles as a kid, and caught bees in a jam jar.
Jesus I’ve been doing this for years, because frogs return to the same spot every year to spawn so they generally spawn in drainage ditches near us which end up drying up. So we collect them, rear them and release them in a nature reserve near us also. Never thought to put it on the internet. Guess I missed my five minutes of fame.
The world we live in now everything is a sensation.
That’s more than a jar of frogspawn, I hope they will be released eventually
