Five people have been arrested after a car failed to stop for gardaí in Knocklyon in Dublin.

The car then crashed into two cars driven by members of the public at Grange Road in Rathfarnham at 1:40pm on Thursday.

Gardaí, with the help of the Garda Air Support Unit, gave chase to the people who were in the car.

They were suspected of being involved in a burglary in Walkinstown a short time earlier.

Four men in their 50s, and 20s are being held at garda stations in the Dublin area - another person arrested, a teenager, has since been released pending further investigations.
