Teens face trial for Snapchat-planned violent hi-jacking of social worker

The pair dragged the woman from her car, punched her in the face and threw her on to the road

The teenage boys are aged 16 and 17, but the judge ruled the case was too serious to be dealt with in the Children’s Court.

Two teenage boys have been sent forward for trial to the Circuit Court in Dublin accused of carrying out a violent car-jacking of a social worker allegedly planned over Snapchat.

The pair, aged 16 and 17, who are in care, appeared at Dublin Children’s Court where they were served with books of evidence.
