BBC Three - The Young Offenders (film)

Pursued by police, two teenage boys on stolen bikes try to find a missing bale of cocaine.

Two teenage boys cycle 160km on stolen bikes, pursued by police, to find a missing bale of cocaine worth 7 million euros.

Inspired by the true story of Ireland's biggest cocaine seizure in 2007, this comedy road movie sees best friends Conor and Jock, two inner-city teenagers from Cork who dress the same, act the same and even have the same bum-fluff moustaches. Jock is a legendary bike thief who plays a daily game of cat-and-mouse with Garda sergeant Healy. When a boat capsizes off the west coast of Cork and 61 bales of cocaine, each worth 7 million euros, are seized, word gets out that there is a bale missing. The boys steal two bikes and go on a road trip, hoping to find the missing bale and sell it so as to escape their troubled home lives. But Sergeant Healy is in hot pursuit.
