Dog alerts sleeping Newbridge man to burglars
A burglary was averted after a barking dog alerted a Newbridge man asleep in his bed.
The incident took place in The Meadows area on February 1 at 5.45pm.
The man was asleep in an upstairs bedroom because he is a night shift worker.
He was awoke by his dog barking and he ran downstairs to see four young males trying to force his sitting room window.
The would-be intruders immediately fled the scene.
