Sirens for the past 10 minutes non-stop Summerhill/North Circular Road/Drumcondra

PaurGasm

Im a student living in Summerhill and for the past 10 minutes (19:35 - 19:55 or thereabouts) all I have been hearing is sirens passing the house NON STOP...

They came up Summerhill and Im not sure if they went straight on towards Fairview/Cloniffe Rd direction or turn onto the North Circular and went towards Dorset St.

I went out to check and a few of the neighbours were out having a nosy aswell...but nobody knows what happened...

Has anybody else heard these?

PaurGasm

and there goes more sirens around the mountjoy area...

bloody hell, something crazy must have happened

Procrastastudy

Thats what the helicopter was for.

Its a pretty common occurance, Car takes off from Gardai, plenty of cars join the chase. Car crashes, lads leg it and Heli gets called out to use the thermal imaging camera to find them. Looks spectacular at times, but in reality its nothing special or that out of the ordinary.

I was talking to a Guard friend of mine, they got the guy alright. The crash was at the corner of Sherrard St and North Circular Road.

From what I seen afew hours after it all settled down, the car went right into the front railings of the georgian house and levelled them, along with wrecking some of the steps and the wall that the railings were attached too! I was told the car thief tried to run from the crash but obviously had no luck with half the cops in town after him!

Heard all that last night, Nothing unusal about that in Dublin, They must have been chasing it for at least an hour, The heaps of junk the Guards drive would not have a hope against a BM....

I'm not, wreckless driving like that will end in tears 99% of the time.

I heard same thing last night, I live on mountjoy square and I see a gardiner street clearly, saw cars racing from side to side all the time. Thought it was some guy racing down and up the gardinier street, guess I was pretty much correct.

Mr Simpson

Just to add to this, apparently the guys were arrested, not confirmed, just what I heard.

How come nothing of this is on news?

Because there aren't enough hours in the day to report crimes like this, far too many of them.
