A hilarious TikTok video showing a pair of kids in a toy car being 'chased' by gardai in Dublin is blowing up online.
In the clip, a boy and girl can be spotted cruising along in the lime green Lamborghini toy car at the Manor Street Festival as a garda van with its blue lights on slowly follows behind them. Shared on TikTok by creator Tom Thompson the wacky video has been viewed more than 22,000 times.
Speaking to Dublin Live, Tom explained that the lime green Lamborghini toy car, nicknamed 'Larry Lambo' by his daughter India, 11, is her "pride and joy." He explained: "India is 11 and she got the car for Christmas. India is a real tomboy and has a thing about green convertible Lamborghinis."

Tom said that two months before Christmas last year he sourced the basic XI kids ride on Supercar in the UK while he was working over there. He said: "There is loads of kids Lamborghinis on the market but only suited for 4-6 year olds, so I had to customise it to make it into a Lamborghini.
"The original car cost £800 then I've spent another few hundred euros upgrading the batteries, and I vinyl wrapped it Lambo green with leather seats embroidered with the Lamborghini logo." The Lamborghini is not your average kid's toy car, however, as it also has a working hand break and rear brake lights, proper air filled rubber tyres, and can reach a speed of 30km/hr.
Meanwhile, India and her distinctive toy car were also also spotted cheekily going up to the McDonald's Drive Thru in Finglas in another TikTok video that was viewed over 28,000 times. Tom said: "She has been served in both the McDonald's and Burger King Drive Thrus, it's money well spent.
"I'm 6ft and can fit in it, so she'll get many more years out of enjoyment out of it then my grandson can have it if she ever parts with it. It's her pride and joy," he added.
