Gardaí are closely monitoring the situation after a 59-year-old convicted child porn offender was targeted by vigilantes twice within the space of a week.

It is understood that officers have given David Sharpe security advice after his car was torched near his home off Drogheda Street in Balbriggan on Tuesday evening.

The arson attack happened just four days after vigilantes smashed up the same vehicle.

“An exact motive for this has yet to be established but there is no evidence that Sharpe has been involved in any recent crime,” a senior source told the Herald last night.

“The most likely explanation is that someone in the locality became aware of his past conduct and decided to take the law into their own hands in an attempt to drive him out of the area.
