Gardaí search ongoing for two men who absconded from Mayo crime scene

Gardaí in Mayo are continuing the efforts to locate two men who absconded from a crime scene in Ballinrobe yesterday.

They had left the scene at The Neale Road in the town where a man in his 20s had been left with serious head injuries following a violent assault that shocked the community.

Members of the divisional detective unit are seeking to interview the two suspects in regard to the matter.

The injured man was transferred by ambulance to an unnamed hospital where his condition remains serious.

Their vehicle which left the scene, in which the two suspected were travelling, reportedly crashed at Kilmaine Road in the town and the duo scampered on foot across nearby fields.

Extensive searches to locate them have so far proved unsuccessful.

However, gardaí are very thankful to all the witnesses whom have come forward to date.

Anybody with new information should contact Claremorris Garda Station.
