Three arrested after car fails to stop for gardai

GARDAI arrested three individuals following a “managed containment operation” in West Dublin in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

According to a Garda statement, a car failed to stop at around 12.30am when directed to do so by gardai in the Lucan area.

“The car left the scene at speed and a managed containment operation ensued”, the Garda statement said.

“A stinger device was successfully deployed on the N2 at Charleston Place in Finglas and the vehicle was brought to a halt.

“It was subsequently discovered that the vehicle had been subject to an unauthorised taking.”

One male aged in his late teens and two male juvenile teens were arrested and taken to Garda Stations in the North of Dublin.

According to gardai, the male (late teens) has been charged and is scheduled to appear before the courts at a later date.

The two male juvenile teens have been released pending referral to the Youth Diversion Programme.

Investigations are ongoing, gardai said.
