Gardai have arrested three men as part of an initiative to combat theft in Dublin's city centre.
The three men aged 43, 33 and 19 were arrested on Dame Court yesterday after attempting to steal a wallet from a member of the public.
They've been charged in relation to a number of theft and fraud offences and will appear in court this morning.
During the course of the arrests a number of phones were seized and Gardai are hoping to return these phones to their owners.
