Teen accused accused of stealing woman's car and running her over remanded in custody

A 16-year-old boy accused of stealing a woman’s car and running her over with it has been further remanded in custody by the Dublin Children’s Court pending directions from the DPP.

Judge David Anderson was told that the DPP was recommending that because the defendant is a juvenile, the Children’s Court must decide whether or not the case should be sent forward to the Circuit Court, which has wider sentencing powers.
