    I was taking the missus to get her oil and water checked for her impending NCT last night (thurs 2330) old airport road and next thing out of nowhere goes 2 unmarked car (mondeo and focus RS?). Me being a bit of a gardacarsexual told the boss to floor it after them to see what the craic was..next thing there are squad cars everywhere....i mean everywhere, it felt like they were dropping from the sky This all happened around dublin airport crossroads and under the runway on the old airport road.

    I saw them driving in every direction, doing u-turns, stopping anyone out walking. We finally saw them at an abondoned white jap sports car.

    I saw the following

    Marked mondeo x 5-6
    Marked Transit Van x 1
    Marked Corolla hatch x 1
    Marked Mondea estate x 1
    Marked traffic corps estate x 2
    Unmarked Focus hatch Black x 2
    Unmarked Focus hatch black RS x 1 (no way it was a bog standard the speed it took off at) x 1
    Unmarked Volvo s60 silver x 1
    Unmarked Camry x 1
    Unmarked Forester x 1

    Airport police were buzzin around as well but probably cause there was a cat on the road

    I really am not "beefing this up", it's what i saw.

    Anyone know what was going on?

    No idea what was going on but heard the sirens going through Malahide on Thursday night too. A good few of them headed off towards that direction. We were wondering what was up but no one seems to know.

    There was a very high speed chase Portmarnock -> Malahide -> Portmarnock, some crazy driving along the coast road. Didn't hear how it ended but there was 10+ garda cars in pursuit...

    I saw that too, was terrified cos I was taking my granny's car for a spin to keep the battery ticking over, and it's tax is out of date. Luckily the gardai had bigger fish to fry

    Do the cops really have an RS Focus?

    I think it might have started from baldoyle area or further back. Was talking to someone that was nearly ploughed by one of the unmarked cars.

    It a jeep that was failing to stop for Gardai. Apparently it was used in an incident down the country. The jeep was lost for a time on the airport grounds but found abandoned near Arrivals. Three people were arrested nearby with the help of ASU
