FOUR MEN HAVE been arrested and counterfeit currency has been seized by police in Northern Ireland after a van failed to stop for An Garda Síochána.
Shortly before 12pm yesterday, the PSNI was advised that a white van had failed to stop for gardaí and made off towards Middletown in Co Armagh.
A short time later, police on patrol on the Armagh Road in Moy observed a van and signalled for it to stop. However, the van failed to stop and made off.
The van was seen again in Newtownhamilton where it struck two police vehicles before making off again towards Newry.
Police deployed a stinger device on the Drumnahunshin Road in order to bring the van to a stop. The van rammed another police vehicle before making off again.
The van was finally stopped by police on Carrickcloughen Hill in Camlough.
Four men – aged 25, 28, 32 and 35 – were arrested on suspicion of a number of offences and remain in police custody at this time.
No police officers sustained any life-threatening injuries and no member of the public were injured during the incident.
The PSNI are appealing to anyone who witnessed the incident yesterday or who has information which they believe may assist the investigation to contact officers on 101 quoting reference 509 21/03/20.
Alternatively, information can be provided anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

@Logan Shepherd: that joke was “priceless”
@XvSv: Haha .. I’ve still cancelled the stand up routine though :-)
@Con Cussed: wake up con. Obviously you never had any dealings with that group of Irish people.
@Con Cussed: your English is kinda ok so you’re probably not a traveller posting, so that just makes you a complete and utter naive dope so.
They’ll get more than a ‘slap on the wrist ‘ up ther for putting policemens lives in danger!
@John Mc Donagh: Hopefully
@Con Cussed: Either you are taking the piss or you are clown ??
@Con Cussed: I work for a living. Pay taxes. Don’t steal. Respect those that deserve it. Help out others when I can and don’t ask for anything in return. Give me an idea of where you’re coming from when you say I’m biased towards travellers please. I’ve only ever had negative dealings with them. With a name like yours , I’d say you fit the culture boss!!
@Martin McFly: They are Irish and you’re biased. They only disgrace is your posting. No doubt you are holier than holy.
have your say
