A man in his late teens is appearing at Mullingar District Court today charged in connection with the incident.

The car was seized by local Gardaí, with the motorist to face Longford District court in the coming months.

Shortly before 11am on Monday, Gardaí searched a car in the Ballymore area of the town and recovered quantities of Cocaine, Ecstasy and Cannabis.

The operation involved involved more than 60 Gardaí and Detectives from units including the Armed Response Unit and Dog Unit.

In passing sentence, Judge Martina Baxter says the attack was highly organised and deliberate to incite fear.

The seizures and arrests were made in recent days

His trial, which is expected to take up to three weeks, is due to get underway on the thirteenth of November.

The air ambulance attended the scene but the extent of any injuries are not yet known.
