Gardaí forced to jump out of the way as boy drove at them during high-speed chase
A teenage boy who stole cars and led police on a dangerous high-speed pursuit in suburban Dublin on two separate occasions last year has been sentenced to two years in detention.
The 16-year-old boy, who can't be named because he is a juvenile, drove on the wrong side of the road, went down dual carriage slipways into oncoming traffic and caused two gardaí to jump over a barrier to avoid being knocked down during the two incidents in July and October last year.
