Footage shows dozens of teens wreaking havoc in quiet estate in Kildare

Several teens have been arrested after dozens of youths wreaked havoc on a quiet estate in Leixslip yesterday evening.

The youths are understood to have been attending a house party in the Rinawade area when they spilled out on to the street at around 7pm.

Footage of the incident shows hoards of young people running up and down the street forcing traffic to come to a sudden halt to avoid hitting anyone.

The teens can also be seen congregating in large groups with no apparent regard for social distancing.

A number of gardai can later be seen arriving in two cars to disperse the throngs of teens.

A garda spokeswoman told Dublin Live three youths were arrested for public order offences following the disturbance.

She said: "Following reports of a disturbance at residence, Gardaí responded to call at a location in Leixlip, Co. Kildare at approximately 7:00pm on 6th July 2020. A number of youths were asked to leave the area.

"Three youths were arrested for public order offences and taken to Leixlip Garda Station. They will be will be processed under the Juvenile Diversion Programme."
