After a car was taken in Belfast while carrying a 17-yr-old girl inside, a man has been detained in Louth, reports Breaking News.
The PSNI notified the Gardaà of a car that had entered their jurisdiction on the N1 Southbound and was the subject of an unauthorised take-over in Belfast.
A man in his 20s was taken into custody at a nearby area when the automobile was eventually found on Dundalk’s Newry Road, reports Breaking News.
He is being held at a Garda station in County Louth under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984.
Gardaà confiscated the car and took it away for inspection.
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 (AGS) to inform them the vehicle was driving towards the border,” reports Breaking News.
“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,” reports Breaking News.
