A Mr Gallagher and his new fiancé were held at gunpoint whilst walking back up “The Strip “ I assume at night back to their hotel/apartment. Their assailants confronted them out of a bakery.(Don’t know where this is. Never seen a bakery on Rua Sá Carniero.) The gang took them on a 1hr drive, after stealing 300€. Eventually getting them to attempt to withdraw more money from a ATM. Where they made their escape.

What proof do you have of crime on the strip. Not my cup of tea but have never felt intimidated.
I read the "report" in the Irish Times and thought it was sidgolds
latest novel. Their Insurance Company also did not believe them since they did not settle their alleged claim.
Can't be a lot happening news wise when the Irish Times devotes space to such drivel

Just the odd murder over the last few years. Murder a couple of weeks ago at the top end.
 Accosted by pikeys every time you walk down there rolex/hashish/ you want charlie Del boy.
2017 Portugal invasion "riot police fire shots". 
15 years ago I had no qualms taking my 9 year old Daughter down the strip on a night would I take a 9 year old down there now?   No chance place is a sh****le. 
I too think that Irish mugging malarky was a bit hard to believe. Are people getting mugged and robbed?...Yes without a doubt.

I read in one report on this Mr Micheal Gallagher, or Dermot as one report names him says, he and his fiancé were confronted by this armed gang at 18:00hrs on a Sunday. Sunset was around 15:40 on this day so relatively quiet light.
