Five males fled the vehicle and were subsequently arrested on the roadside.
No injuries have been reported as a result of these collisions.
It was subsequently established that the vehicle had been taken a short time earlier during the course of a burglary in the Blanchardstown area.
All five, aged in their teens and early 20s, were taken to Garda Stations in the DMR West where they were detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984. Three of these males have been released and a file will be prepared for the DPP.
