Darragh Carroll, 27, was spotted by gardai speeding in the Balbriggan area of Dublin.

Officers activated the lights and sirens and indicated the driver to pull over but he refused to and continued to drive dangerously in the area.

Gardai ran a check on the registration plate of the Renault Fluence and noted that it had been stolen the previous evening.

Carroll ran a number of red lights, drove through a number of stop signs, mounted a footpath and drove the wrong way down busy residential streets.
