Teenagers charged after violent spree

Five young men were involved in a spree of violence lasting over an hour in Bishopstown, Co Cork, where a young man was robbed, a house damaged, windows in a car smashed and a €45,000 digger set on fire in a sports field.

Garda David Hickey outlined the background to the series of events that occurred before and after midnight on September 14/15, 2013, in Bishopstown.

Two teenagers were arrested yesterday and brought before Cork District Court charged with engaging in violent disorder with other named individuals in a manner likely to cause fear in others present at the time.
