They appeared in Dublin Children's Court today, where Judge Brendan Toale granted bail with strict conditions, including curfews, a ban on contacting each other, and staying out of Kildare.

Four Dublin teens, aged 14 to 16, were charged with dangerous driving and travelling in a stolen car that rammed two Garda vehicles and hit a lamppost in Celbridge.

They appeared in Dublin Children's Court today, where Judge Brendan Toale granted bail with strict conditions, including curfews, a ban on contacting each other, and staying out of Kildare.

Gardaí, according to breakingnews.ie, reported they had been caught attempting to break into cars in Celbridge early Thursday, fleeing in a stolen Nissan March driven by a 14-year-old, who allegedly rammed Garda cars before crashing.

The boys, who have not entered pleas, face various charges related to the incident.

Judge Toale warned them they would be remanded in custody if bail terms are violated.

They will appear in court again next month.
