Woman charged in relation to viral video of windscreens being smashed at Wexford car park

Wexford Gardaí have charged an 18-year-old woman in connection with an incident of criminal damage in Wexford town. Videos of the incident, which have circulated widely on social media, reportedly show the woman smashing the windscreens of parked vehicles in a car park located at the end of Oyster Lane.

In the footage, the woman is encouraged and laughed at by two men behind the camera as she attempts to break the windscreen of a Ford Focus. After trying and failing, she turns her attention to a black Audi parked nearby. The owner of one of the vehicles confronts her, asking if she has damaged his windscreen, to which she responds that the men filming were “winding her up.”

Gardaí confirmed their awareness of the video and stated that the woman, who is known locally, has been arrested and charged. She is expected to appear before Wexford District Court.

  • The latest:
  • The teenager is scheduled to appear in Wexford District Court soon for the charges brought against her.
