A car that gardaí linked to an arson attack at a tanning salon earlier this month was used for a shoplifting spree in west Dublin just a day later, the Irish Independent can reveal.

The link to the ‘Mini-style’ car played a “significant role” in the arrest of three suspects on Thursday for their alleged roles in the tanning salon attack in the centre of Carlow town which happened in the early hours of April 8.
