Four in custody after car chase

FOUR men were in Garda custody in Waterford last night after a high-speed car chase in the city on Saturday evening, after which a gun was recovered.

Eye witnesses said a 2008 Lexus car rammed a 1998 Opel Vectra up to ten times on John Street at about 9.30pm on Saturday.

The chase, which continued on foot along Waterford’s main thoroughfare and taxi rank on weekend nights, occurred as hundreds made their way to-and-from nearby pubs and restaurants.
