High voltage stun gun found in crashed car

GARDAÍ yesterday described as “a significant new development” the discovery of a high voltage stun gun in a car that crashed after a garda chase in Kerry and west Limerick.

A man in his 20s was arrested after the car crashed in a wooded area at Carrigkerry, following Thursday’s high-speed, 32-kilometre chase. A second person fled the scene.

Gardaí said a quantity of cannabis and a stun gun were removed from the car.
