UPDATE: Three Male Juveniles Charged with Reckless and Negligent Act and Other Offences,
Three male juveniles who were previously arrested for their involvement in an incident that occurred on 8 August 2024, have been charged with Reckless and Negligent Act, Damage to Property and Criminal Trespass.
The police carried out a full and thorough investigation in relation to this matter and a file was submitted to the DPP. It was returned with no charge for the man involved in the incident, who is a senior politician.
The three juveniles are due to appear in court Friday 21 February.
The RCIPS held an internal investigation into this incident. Police actions were thoroughly reviewed, and discussions with HSA colleagues have been completed. Both parties have agreed a process moving forward which will help define roles and responsibilities when dealing with persons that are unable to give consent to the taking of a blood specimen following a collision. In support of this process, the Commissioner of Police, Kurt Walton, has personally recommended changes to the Traffic Law, Section 86, which, if amended, will provide further clarity for police and medical practitioners.
