Fireworks fired at motorists in frightening Halloween night rampage
Masked quad-bike and scrambler riders sped through Carndonagh in an extremely dangerous manner
A sinister and frightening series of incidents involving masked quad-bike riders and a scrambler in Carndonagh on Halloween night could easily have resulted in death or serious injury.
Approximately eight quad bikes and a scrambler were driven in an extremely dangerous manner in the areas of Churchland Quarters, Church Road and Carndonagh town between 10pm and midnight on Saturday, October 31.
Several of those involved were wearing ski masks and balaclavas instead of helmets as they engaged in a series of seriously dangerous manoeuvres at speed.
These included driving around a roundabout, on footpaths and along public roads, putting other motorists and members of the public at considerable risk.
In an especially alarming development, fireworks were launched at members of the public travelling in vehicles and also at Garda patrol cars.
The reckless behaviour created a frightening situation on Halloween night, with the potential for a serious collision or devastating injuries.
Gardaí are anxious to progress their investigation and are appealing to anyone who encountered the quad bikes or scrambler that night to come forward.
Motorists who travelled through Carndonagh between 10pm and midnight are being asked to check their dash-cam footage for images of the vehicles or their drivers.
Gardaí will also be reviewing all available CCTV footage and are urging anyone with relevant information, particularly regarding the identity of those involved, to contact Buncrana Garda Station on 07493 20540.
