A man was arrested in the Rushmere area of Craigavon on Sunday afternoon after police stopped a car which had been reported stolen earlier in the day.

Road Policing Interceptors from Sprucefield, assisted by a crew from Road Policing Unit at Mahon Road, stopped the black Infinity Q30 using ‘pre-emptive tactics’ in order to prevent the likelihood of a pursuit.

The vehicle had been reported stolen from east Belfast hours earlier.

Police confirmed as a result, a 39-year-old male was arrested on suspicion of a number of offences including taking and driving away, no insurance, no driving licence and fraud by false representation.

He was taken into police custody to assist officers with their enquiries.
