Pearce O’Neill, a cocaine addict, has been arrested after allegedly crashing into two police vehicles in a stolen car during a 48-hour crime spree across Belfast. The car had been taken in a creeper-style burglary in north Belfast before the incident on November 2, 2024.
The 30-year-old is also accused of attempting to break into two other homes during the same crime spree, which involved multiple criminal activities over a short period.
The police vehicles were rammed during an attempt to escape from authorities. O’Neill faces several serious charges as a result of his actions, including theft of the car, burglary, and assaulting police officers.
O’Neill’s alleged crime spree is part of a wider ongoing investigation, and authorities continue to gather evidence as the case progresses. He is currently in custody awaiting further proceedings related to his arrest and the charges against him.
