Gardaí have arrested a man in his 20s in relation to an aggravated burglary that took place at a residential property in Ballyvolane in the early hours of this morning.

"Gardaí were alerted after a male gained entry to the property at approximately 1:35am," a Garda spokesperson said.

"Gardaí apprehended the male a short time later at the property.

"He was arrested and taken to Mayfield Garda Station where he was detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984." 

The man has since been charged and is due to appear in Cork District Court at a later date.
