A man who was allegedly involved in a burglary and subsequent car chase on the M7 motorway yesterday is due to appear in court this morning.
The burglary occurred in an area near Mountmellick in Laois, and Gardaí were alerted to the theft of the car. A car chase down the M7 motorway ensued, though the man was not brought to a halt until the car was later stopped in the Cherry Orchard area of Dublin by Gardaí.
A 22-year-old man was arrested at the scene, while Gardaí also arrested a second 22-year old male later in the afternoon when they stopped a second car in the same area.
One man will appear before Portlaoise District Court this morning at 10.30am in relation to the incident, while the second man was released yesterday without charge. A file is being prepared for the DPP.
