Boy awaits trial in relation to 100mph chase

A 16-year-old boy, who allegedly led gardaí on a high-speed pursuit when he drove a stolen car at 100 miles per hour on the M50 motorway, has been sent forward for trial to the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

The north Dublin boy, a father- to-be, is accused of stealing a Nissan Micra, driving without a licence and insurance, failing to stop for gardaí, as well as two counts of careless driving, on March 28 last year, when he was aged 14.
