Covert crackdown to drive out ‘boy racers’

GARDAÍ have started using covert cameras in Cork city and suburbs as part of an escalating crackdown on dangerous driving by ‘boy racers’.

Meanwhile, it has been revealed that more than 60 vehicles have been seized from boy racers since a special operation was mounted by gardaí in north and east Cork.

Chief Superintendent Michael Finn, who is in charge of policing in Cork City, confirmed the cameras are being placed in areas gardaí know are used for driving stunts.
