A police pursuit in south Armagh over the weekend saw a motorist flee police in excess of 100mph.
It happened on Saturday night (January 13) when a vehicle in the area failed to stop for police, before proceeding to drive along ‘dangerous’ roads at over 100mph.
A spokesperson for the PSNI said the vehicle initially got away but it was recovered on Sunday following intervention from the Slieve Gullion North Neighbourhood Policing Team.
The spokesperson added: “If you fail to stop for police, you will lose your car, possibly your license and gain a criminal conviction in doing so.”
Meanwhile on Friday night, a police stinger was deployed to stop a fleeing vehicle.
