Two Romanian men have been remanded in custody after appearing at Dublin District Court charged in connection with an alleged attempt to commit ATM fraud.

The men were arrested on Dublin's O'Connell Street last night by detectives from Store Street Garda station.

A suspected false ATM front panel and a mini camera were recovered during the garda operation.

Detective Garda Gerard Moore told the court that neither man made any reply when charged under section 15 of the Criminal Justice Theft and Fraud Offences Act 2001.

Both men were initially thought to be in their early 20s, but a solicitor acting for the men said one of her clients was actually 17-years-old and produced a birth certificate to the court.

Judge William Early granted both men legal aid, and remanded them in custody to appear again in court in one week's time.
