A 25-year-old man has been arrested by gardai following a search for a car which was stolen in Belfast with a 17-year-old girl inside.
Detective Sergeant McVeagh said: “The car stopped on the Saintfield Road, Lisburn, where the girl escaped from the vehicle. The car was observed a short time later driving at speeds in excess of 100mph on the A1 and officers made contact with our colleagues in An Garda Siochana to inform them the vehicle was driving towards the border.
Det Sgt McVeagh added: “At around 2.20am on Saturday, we received a report from AGS to say they had located the stolen car and had arrested a 25-year-old man in Dundalk, he remains in custody at this stage. The victim was not injured but left shaken by her ordeal. Thankfully, we are not dealing with any casualties after some very dangerous and reckless behaviour by the suspect involved.
A spokesman for An Garda Siochana said the man is currently detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984 at a garda station in Co Louth. He said: “Gardaí have arrested a man and seized a vehicle in Dundalk, Co. Louth in the early hours of Saturday, 28th September 2024.
