Gardaí in Dublin reunited one lucky tourist from Argentina with her stolen phone last weekend.

Gardaí said that one of Romina's friends rang the stolen phone and a man answered. However, he would only sell it back to her.

Romina then went to Store Street Garda Station to get some help from the gardaí on the matter.
In some clever thinking, they arranged to meet the man to retrieve the phone however it was the gardaí waiting to meet him instead of Romina.
The man was arrested and the phone happily reunited with its owner.
