A man in his 20’s whose pit bull dog bit an armed garda in the groin when officers stormed his home is suspected of being on a crime spree because he owes a “significant debt.”
An officer from the Armed Support Unit (ASU) was forced to shoot the dog yesterday evening during the arrest operation in Inchicore in the capital’s south inner city.
The dog was brought for veterinary treatment and it is understood it has since died.
The Inchicore man was arrested in the Emmet Crescent area on suspicion of carrying out two armed robberies in Rialto and Kilmainham yesterday.
Shortly after 12 noon on Monday a lone man armed with a handgun entered a shop in Rialto and threatened staff before leaving the scene with a sum of cash.
Moments later a man entered a supermarket and post office in the Kilmainham area and threatened staff before leaving the scene with a quantity of cigarettes.
No one was physically harmed in either incident.
In the course of a follow up operation local detectives and members of the Armed Support Unit carried out a search of the house in the Inchicore area later in the evening.
The suspect was arrested and detained under Section 30 of the Offences against the State Act at Kevin Street Garda Station.
He can be held for up to three days before being charged or released.
A number of items believed to be connected with the robberies were seized and held as evidence.
A statement from the garda press office confirmed that during the operation an official firearm was discharged when Gardaí were attacked by a dog.
“One Garda member was injured in the attack and required medical treatment. The dog has been removed for veterinary treatment,” it said.
It is understood the dog ran at the garda and bit him in the groin, and was then shot and injured by a member of the Armed Support Unit.
Because a garda firearm was discharged the matter was reported to the Garda Siochana Ombudsman Commission (GSOC) as per protocol.
It is understood no further investigation will be carried out by GSOC after an examination of the facts but the garda investigation into the robberies is ongoing.
Independent.ie can also reveal that the suspect is also being questioned about an armed robbery at a service station in the Inchicore area on Sunday.
“He is suspected of at least three armed robberies. He was on a bit of a spree and it seems that he is desperate for money because he owes a significant debt,” a senior source said.
The handgun which is suspected of being an intimidation weapon has not yet been recovered by gardai.

Are there any youth clubs now? Probably not with all the scandals, and the necessity for vetting. With the right leaders they would be a great community asset. My childhood memories of the youth club in my area, and the summer holidays with it in The Lonan Murphy House near Naas are some of the best in my life. I was a leader in the same club for a few years also.

Pit bull shot dead by gardaí during raid
The dog was shot dead in the course of a house search. Generic Stock : Garda Armed Support Unit
SUN, 14 FEB, 2021 - 20:30
CORMAC O'KEEFFE SECURITY CORRESPONDENT
An armed garda fatally shot a dog — believed to be a pit bull — during a search of a house in Dublin’s north east inner city earlier today.
It is the second time in a month that gardaí conducting a raid on a house have shot dead a dog.
In an operation in Coburg Place, off Seville Place, the Dublin Metropolitan Region (DMR) Armed Support Unit (ASU), assisted by officers from Coolock Detective Unit, carried out a planned search of a house.
Garda sources said that during the search, a dog, described as a pit bull, was about to attack or was in the process of attacking a garda, when it was shot by an armed officer.
“The dog was a pit bull and it had set on or went to attack one of the ASU officers and was shot,” said a Garda source.
Gardaí called for a vet, who came to the scene, but was unable to save the dog’s life.
Garda HQ issued a statement in relation to the matter as the incident involved the discharge of a garda firearm.
The statement said: “Gardaí have arrested a man in his 40s following a search of a house at Coburg Place, Dublin 1 and discharge of an official firearm on 14 February.
“As part of an ongoing investigation, a search was carried out under warrant, of a house in Coburg Place Dublin 1 by the DMR Armed Support Unit with assistance from the Coolock Detective Unit.”
It said that in the search, a small quantity of drugs was uncovered, with an initial street value of around €5,000.
The statement said that a man, aged in his 40s, was arrested at the scene and conveyed to Coolock Garda Station where was detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act (1984).
The statement said: “During the operation an official firearm was discharged when Gardaí were attacked by a dog inside the house. The dog received veterinary treatment but didn’t survive the injuries sustained.”
The statement said that a Scenes of Crime Unit had attended the scene to carry out an examination.
“As an official firearm was discharged the incident has been notified to the Garda Síochana Ombudsman Commission,” the statement said.
Sources said this does not mean Gsoc will conduct an investigation into the incident, thought it may seek reports on the matter to determine if proper procedures were adhered to.
Gardaí would have to automatically refer the incident for Gsoc investigation if a human had been injured, but this does not apply in relation to animals, sources explained.
Gsoc can carry out a “public interest” investigation, but only where they believe it is warranted.
As with all cases where an official firearm is discharged, Garda bosses will conduct an examination of the incident.
In this case that will be carried out by the Special Tactics & Operations Command, which is responsible for dedicated armed units, such as the ASU.
Just a month ago, an ASU member shot dead a dog during a search after it reportedly bit a fellow garda.
In that case the dog had to be put down by a vet.
That search was conducted on a property in the Rialto area in Dublin’s south inner city. The search was connected to a series of armed robberies in the locality.
One man was arrested in that operation.
Garda sources said that dogs like pit bulls, along with staffies and bull terriers, are regularly used by targets of search operations and often pose a serious risk to officers.
It is thought that an estimated four dogs have been fatally shot by gardaí in the last two years.
