Alleged burglar mounted footpath as kids were on way to school, court hears
'DRIVING AT SPEED' | Vladislavs Jukums, 28, of Highfield Crescent, Swords, Co. Dublin, was arrested on Friday and charged with motor theft, two counts of burglary, and criminal damage on May 23 in his locality Dublin District Court Vladislavs Jukums, 28, of Highfield Crescent, Swords, Co. Dublin, was arrested on Friday and charged with motor theft, two counts of burglary, and criminal damage on May 23 in his locality. The father of one appeared before Judge Catherine Ghent, who set his bail at €300, requiring a €100 lodgement from him and approval of a €500 independent surety. However, she stipulated that the bail, with various conditions, including a curfew and a bar from returning to Swords, cannot be taken up until he gets an appropriate new address. Judge Ghent remanded him in custody to appear again next week. Garda Shane Murphy told a contested bail hearing at Dublin District Court on Saturday that at just 7.41 am, he responded to a vehicle driving recklessly and dangerously in Applewood estate, Swords. On arrival, he said, he saw a 2022-reg Toyota C-HR driving at speed with a flat tyre. Garda Murphy said that he activated his lights and sirens to indicate this vehicle to stop, but the Toyota continued at speed towards the patrol car before it "mounted the kerb and drove along the footpath to evade gardai". The court heard that pedestrians and young schoolchildren had to move to avoid being struck. The car still failed to stop for gardai and subsequently lost control and crashed on the roundabout at the end of Brackenstown Road, Swords, Co. Dublin, where it hit a signpost on the footpath with pedestrians present. Garda Murphy alleged the accused was the driver and sole occupant of the vehicle, which was confirmed to have been subject to an unauthorised taking during a burglary at Castleview Park, Swords, Co Dublin. Judge Ghent was told the owner woke to a man entering her bedroom before taking her car keys. It was claimed that the accused carried out a second burglary at nearby Ashton Broc, Swords, Co. Dublin on the same date. The accused attempted to break into the front door of the address by smashing a rock several times against the glass pane of the front door, causing damage. The accused allegedly walked towards a vehicle and attempted to smash the front driver's window with a rock. According to the garda, the accused then walked around the side of the house and gained access to his address through the back door, but nothing of note was removed from the address. The garda raised concerns that unemployed Mr Jukums was not residing at his stated address, his mother's home and that he was staying with his partner, who lived close to the two burgled houses. Defence solicitor Carol Slattery queried whether young children would have been on their way to school at the time, and the garda contended that it was in a built-up area where people started early. The solicitor stressed that Mr Jukums, who has yet to enter a plea, had the presumption of innocence and could face a lengthy period in custody on remand while the Director of Public Prosecutions prepared the case. Ms Slattery said her client would obey strict conditions. The accused, who is on social welfare, was granted legal aid. The judge warned him that he must sign on at his new local garda station when he is released, provide gardai with a contact phone number and have no contact with witnesses.

Toyota's newest EV is coming, and it's a gas throwback. What to know
Toyota has long steered clear of battery electric vehicles in its American portfolio — until now. The automaker is rebranding the bZ4X electric SUV as the bZ and giving it a complete redesign. Toyota is also reviving a subcompact SUV nameplate that it axed back in 2022. The Toyota C-HR is being revived as an electric vehicle for the U.S. market. It's features and a new powertrain could make the 2026 Toyota C-HR electric SUV more appealing than its predecessor, here's what to know. Toyota's C-HR subcompact SUV is returning to America for 2026 as a battery-electric vehicle (BEV). The new 2026 Toyota C-HR will join the Toyota bZ as the company's only electric vehicles for the American market. Luckily for consumers, the C-HR's powertrain is just the beginning of its list of new features. The 2026 C-HR has an all-new design language, making it completely different from the discontinued gas model. Premium cabin materials 14.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system 25.4 cubic feet of cargo space (behind rear seats) North American Charging System port Standard all-wheel drive Toyota's new C-HR subcompact SUV is an electric vehicle that "has a performance-inspired spirit" according to Toyota. The Japanese automaker calls this iteration of the C-HR stylish and powerful, which is a stark contrast from the discontinued 2022 model year, based on a vehicle review from Kelley Blue Book. The 2026 Toyota C-HR has "a manufacturer-estimated all electric drive rating of up to 290 miles", says Toyota. The automaker notes that ranges and charging times will vary depending on weather and additional factors. EV battery performance tends to be sensitive to extreme temperatures, as reported by Scientific American in February, 2024. The SUV produces a whopping 338 horsepower. Standard all-wheel drive gives the EV more traction than its previous iteration. Toyota's newest EV is expected to hit dealerships in 2026, says Toyota. Since the C-HR is noticeably smaller than the Toyota bZ, it's likely to be the company's most affordable electric vehicle yet based on segment prices. It will compete against models like the Hyundai Kona Electric ($32,975) and Kia Niro EV ($39,600). The Toyota C-HR was discontinued after the 2022 model year for a number of reasons. The newer Corolla Cross and Corolla Cross Hybrid models were more recognizable and appealing, as reported by MotorTrend. Honda redesigned its own subcompact SUV, the HR-V, for 2023. This could be a sign that both Japanese automakers found their subcompact SUV models were due for a serious change. Toyota's newest version of the C-HR is a second-chance for the nameplate to make a big impact. This time, the C-HR emerges in a less-populated segment. Hyundai Motor Company is the company to beat in the subcompact electric SUV space, its Kona EV recently won an award from J.D. Power for residual value. The 2026 Toyota C-HR may not have many competitors, but competition remains stiff. Toyota's upcoming bZ and C-HR nameplates will fight for market share as EVs continue to rise in popularity.
