Gardaí arrested a young man and two teenage boys after a car failed to stop when directed to do so in Lucan, west Dublin, in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
The incident occurred at 12.30am when the car “left the scene at speed and a managed containment operation ensued”, a statement from gardaí said.
A stinger device was deployed on the N2 at Charleston Place in Finglas and the vehicle was brought to a halt.
“It was subsequently discovered that the vehicle had been subject to an unauthorised taking,” gardaí added.
