The incident happened in Co. Kildare at around 2:40am this morning.

Four teenagers are to be brought before the courts after a stolen car was involved in a chase with the Garda helicopter last night.

It's believed the car was taken from Co. Kildare at around 2.40am this morning.

Gardaí first responded to calls of erratic driving and after trying to stop the car a chase began along the M3 involving officers from Meath, Dublin and the Garda helicopter.

A stinger was then used to stop the car near Batterstown after it had exited the M3.

The four teenagers were arrested and taken to Naas Garda station to be questioned.

Two will be brought before the Children's court later, while the other two will appear at Blanchardstown District Court.
