Joyriding teens rammed gardaí twice before capture

Two youngsters, aged 17 and 15, evaded capture in a stolen car for nearly five hours speeding on roads around Cork City. They rammed a Garda car twice before being arrested.

The youths’ lengthy escapade eventually ended when they crashed the stolen car while travelling on a rural road.

Gardaí were alerted about the theft of the vehicle from Charleville, Co Cork, at around 8am on Sunday.
