Two teenagers arrested as stolen car recovered by gardaí in Wicklow

The two males, one a juvenile in his teens the other an adult in his late teens, were arrested at the scene and are due to appear in court.

TWO TEENAGERS ARE due to appear in court after gardaí recovered a stolen car in Co Wicklow on Saturday morning.

Gardaí were responding to report of a theft from a vehicle in the Baltinglass area yesterday when a car failed to stop for officers when directed to do so shortly before 6am.

They managed to stop the car on the N81 at Burgage Moyle after launching a managed containment operation using a stinger device.

It was subsequently discovered that the car had been “subject of an unauthorised taking”.

A number of items believed to have been stolen were also recovered.

Two males, one a juvenile in his teens, the other an adult in his late teens, were arrested at the scene and have since been charged.

They are expected to appear before a special sitting of Waterford District Court today, today at approximately 1pm.

Gardaí added that investigations are ongoing into the incident.
