Gardaí have arrested two men and seized a loaded gun after a high-speed car chase in west Dublin last night.

While on patrol in Wellview Road, Mulhuddart shortly before midnight last night, Gardaí saw a car driving at high speed.

The car failed to stop for Gardaí and a “managed containment operation” was launched.

During the car chase, Gardaí said they saw a dark-coloured bag being thrown from the vehicle.

After the vehicle came to a stop, two men, one in his mid-20s and another in his early 30s, were arrested.

They were taken to a Garda Station in West Dublin where they remain in custody this morning.
