Gardaí caught up with joyriders after youths went on-the-rails

GARDAÍ yesterday arrested three youths after a two-day joyriding spree - when they drove a stolen car onto a Luas line and got stuck.

The incident, which happened at rush hour around 8am, caused major disruption on the Tallaght-Connolly line, with services delayed for half an hour.

The stolen Honda Civic was one of two cars being chased by gardaí along the Naas Road at the time. Garda vehicles from Crumlin and Ronanstown stations were in pursuit, along with the garda helicopter.
