Drunk men are increasingly being targeted by thieves in Dublin.
The number of men being preyed on while making their way home at night has seen an increase, gardai say.
Warning others of the danger, gardai said: "The thief, through befriending the injured party, or other forms of deception obtains the injured parties mobile phone and also the PIN number for the device. On occasions the injured party is approached by a ‘good citizen’ or may have gotten into a vehicle on the belief that it is a taxi or that the ‘stranger’ or ‘good citizen’ is offering them a lift.
