Speeding Driver Thought Garda Were Assassins
A County Limerick court has heard that a Lithuanian man feared that assassins were pursuing him when he was involved in a high-speed chase with an unmarked garda car.
The court heard that Gytis Kacenauskas and his passenger were found to be wearing bulletproof vests when stopped by gardai at Ballybrogue South, Patrickswell on May 1, 2012.
Mr Kacenauskas pleaded guilty at Newcastle West Court to a charge of driving without reasonable consideration.
His defence claimed that Mr Kacenauskas is in hiding and fears for his life.
Garda Marsh said that he came across the vehicle, which was driving at considerable speed, and as he attempted to catch up to it in order to take its licence plate number, the car sped up. The court heard that the vehicle was driving in excess of 165 kmph when Garda Marsh activated his siren, and pulled the vehicle over.
