Ireland Teenage boy sent forward for trial over Mercedes criminal damage in Newbridge
A teenage boy and his brother were alleged to have smashed a Mercedes-Benz with an iron bar and a weed-cutting tool while it was at a filling station in Newbridge, Co Kildare, in May 2021, an incident allegedly arising from a family feud. Gardaí estimated the damage at €12,500. Earlier in 2023, Naas District Court heard the case, a Section 75 application was made, and the judge said the allegations were not minor and refused to overturn the DPP's directions. On 23 May 2023, Judge Desmond Zaidan sent the teenage boy's case forward to Naas Circuit Criminal Court, sitting from June 20, where the allegations remain unproven.
