A TEENAGER HAS been charged in court over an aggravated burglary at a woman’s house in Dublin yesterday morning.
The 17 year old appeared before Dublin District Court this afternoon after being arrested and questioned at Tallaght garda station yesterday.
He was detained in relation to an attack on a house in Citywest just before 8am Tuesday.
The woman in the house was threatened and assaulted by five men with knives.
