Non-nationals threw ‘gun’ from car during chase

THREE non-nationals were arrested following a chase during which they threw an imitation firearm from their silver BMW.

Gardaí in Bandon, Co Cork started searching for the men after they received a call that they had threatened the occupants of a house in the town and demanded money from them.

“Gardaí received a call from the occupants of a house in the town at 11pm on Wednesday and started to search for the men. They also mounted checkpoints in the area,” a Garda spokesman said.
