Two teens arrested after car driven wrong way on M50

Two teenagers were arrested following a car chase involving a stolen vehicle driving the wrong way on the M50 in Dublin last night. The incident occurred around 8pm, following a series of dangerous driving episodes reported on the M50 and other areas such as Whitehall, Finglas, and Ballymun. Gardaí responded with a managed containment operation after receiving reports of the dangerous driving.

The garda car was rammed at the junction of the M1 and R132 on the M50 before the stolen car was brought under control. Two boys, aged in their late teens, were taken into custody at the scene. One teenager has since been charged and is scheduled to appear in the Dublin Children's Court, while the other was released with a file to be sent to the Youth Diversion Programme.
