A man (19) is to appear in court this morning charged with a series of burglaries and car thefts prior to a crash which lead to the death of two gardaí last week.

The man was question in Blackrock Garda Station yesterday before being charged. He will appear at Dublin District Court later this morning.

Garda Michael Padden and Garda Tony Tighe died last Sunday week when a stolen Mazda sports car crashed into their patrol car as they were trying to warn motorists.

Gardaí are still waiting to question a youth (16) who remains in hospital as a result of the crash.
