Three people arrested, one charged, after car chase in Dublin overnight

Gardaí said the car was subject to an unauthorised taking in south Co Dublin yesterday.

TWO TEENAGERS AND a man have been arrested after a car chase in Dublin overnight. 

While on patrol at around 2am this morning, gardaí signalled for a car to stop on the Dundrum Bypass. 

The vehicle failed to stop for gardaí. 

Gardaí then pursued the vehicle which was seen driving at speed and in a dangerous manner. 

“A managed containment operation ensued. A stinger device was successfully deployed on the Edmondstown Road and the vehicle was brought to a halt,” gardaí said in a statement. 

Gardaí said the car was subject to an unauthorised taking in south Co Dublin yesterday. 

Three males – two teenage juveniles and a man in his 20s – were arrested and taken to Dundrum Garda Station. 

The teenagers were released from custody pending a referral to the Garda Youth Diversion Programme. 

The man was charged in relation to the matter. He appeared before Dún Laoghaire District Court this morning. 

Comments are closed as a person has been charged.
