Gardaí are appealing for dash-cam footage following yet another report of extremely dangerous driving in Inishowen – this time on a popular beach.

The incident occurred at Stragill, Buncrana shortly after 3.35pm on Friday, September 18, when Gardaí received a report of dangerous driving in progress at the beach.

Gardaí attended the scene and observed a silver Mercedes being driven in an extremely dangerous manner.

The vehicle had a partial registration of ‘04 G’ and there were three to four young males on board.

The Mercedes was subsequently driven away from the area at high speed in the direction of Linsfort.

Gardaí are now appealing to anyone who may have travelled in the Stragill Beach or Linsfort areas between 3pm and 4pm on Friday, September 18, and who may have captured relevant footage on a dash-cam, to make that footage available to them.

Anyone with information or dash-cam footage is asked to contact Buncrana Garda Station on 07493 20540.
