Three juveniles have been arrested after they attempted to steal a quantity of copper wire from an Eircom yard in Bridgend in Donegal.

A Garda Patrol car was rammed as the three tried to make their getaway, and two members of the Gardai have been treated for minor injuries.

Two of the young men are being held at Buncrana Garda Station, while the third is receiving medical treatment at Letterkenny General Hospital.

His condition is not thought to be life-threatening.
