Gardai have seized five firearms and a quantity of ammunition in north Dublin this afternoon.
Gardai manning a checkpoint in Coolock flagged an approaching vehicle to stop, but it failed to do so. Gardai gave chase until the car crashed out near Priorswood Road. The driver fled on foot carrying a bag, which he threw away a short time later. The bag contained five firearms and ammunition.
The suspect got away but Gardai positively identified him.
