A lorry containing DVDs and computer equipment was hijacked by a gang in Dublin yesterday.
The incident happened at 5.45 p.m. on Church Road in Ballybrack.
The driver of the lorry was confronted by three young men wearing dark clothing and baseball caps who forced their way into the cab and bound and gagged the driver.
The white Man 00D truck was then driven to Leopardstown Race where the driver was transferred to another vehicle. The gang then escaped.

He was taken to hospital but suffered no serious injuries.
