A 16 year old boy has been remanded in detention after appearing before Limerick Children’s Court charged with carrying out an aggravated burglary at a house, while armed with a knife.

The boy was arrested after Gardaí were called to a report of a burglary at the house at Shannonvale, Old Cratloe Road in Limerick last Sunday morning.

Gardaí are searching for another man in relation to the incident.

The 16-year old accused, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has reserved his position on bail and was remanded to Oberstown Children’s Detention Campus in Dublin.

He is due back in court for a bail hearing on October 1st.
