Phone Bureau in Rathmines Village smashed up
The Algerian/Libyan run Phone bureau and internet service In Rathmines Village was attacked
late last night or early this morning.The window facing out onto the Rathmines Road opposite Boots Chemist is smashed in. Nothing was removed from the premises, nor was there any sign of a forceable entry. The tills and internet equipment are untouched. The large pane of glass was broken in five or six places, with dangerous shards hanging out onto the street.
The workers and a translator were very upset, stating that they did not want to be photographed, but that a large heavy implement was the only thing that could have caused the destruction. The gardai
arrived within two minutes of my call and appraised the situation, three Rank Xerox boxes were affixed to the window with sellotape! The owners believe that nothing can be done because the attack had happened many hours ago. The gardai have not yet appeared to interview the owner for what will be a hefty insurance claim. I have mobile phone images which I cannot down-load of the Vandalism, the gardai equipped with xerox boxes and hi-tech patching equipment, the poster in the window of the garda racial and intercultural office phone numbers. This attack happened either late last night or early this morning the window was left in a dangerous way, it was not reported until 10am this morning.(10.57 am )
