In the early hours of Monday, officers from B section Newry initiated a pursuit of a white Golf R. During the pursuit, the occupants threw items including a hammer at the pursuing police vehicle, whilst travelling along the A1 carriageway.
The pursuit was brought to a safe resolution using a stinger device, ultimately disabling the vehicle and allowing the occupants to be detained despite their best efforts of escape.
Thanks to our Police Dog Alex who responded and was able to lead his handler to the discarded items, which were thrown from the vehicle. Those arrested remain in custody and are assisting police with their enquiries.
