GARDAÍ HAVE ARRESTED three men and recovered a car following a burglary at a pub in Cavan town today.

Shortly after 6am a car failed to stop for gardaí patrolling the N3 Dublin Road in Cavan town. The car was followed by gardaí to Stradone village, where it crashed into a ditch.

The occupants of the car fled the scene on foot. During a follow-up search a short time later, three men aged in their late teens were arrested. There were no reported injuries.

The three men arrested were taken to Cavan Garda Station and detained under section four of the Criminal Justice Act.

A forensic examination was carried out on the car and at the scene. Gardaí said the investigation is ongoing.
