Gardaí in Mayo arrest three men after high-speed road chase

Gardaí in Mayo are continuing their investigations after three men were arrested following a high-speed road pursuit through a number of Mayo parishes.

A silver coloured Volkswagen Passat estate travelling on the N84 towards Ballinrobe failed to stop at a garda checkpoint at Partry last Sunday afternoon.

The vehicle was subsequently involved in a series of incidents as it travelled through Partry, Ballintubber, Clogher, Frenchill, Breaffy and Castlebar while pursued by gardaí.

The episode came to a climax when the vehicle was involved in a collision at Cottage Road, Breaffy, while trying to avoid another vehicle.

Three men, one aged in his 20s and two aged in their 30s, were arrested at the scene.

It has been reported that a quantity of drugs and a sum of cash were seized by officers at the location.

Now gardaí are continuing to investigate the circumstances of the incident.

Anyone with any information in relation to this incident is asked to contact Castlebar Garda Station on 0949038200 or the Garda Confidential Line on 1800666111 or any Garda Station.
