A white coloured car was understood to have left the scene and the suspect vehicle was located by police this morning in the Dromore area.

The vehicle made off from police when officers attempted to stop it and a short time later crashed into a field off the Ballynahinch Road in Dromore.

Four men, all aged in their 20s, were arrested at the scene on suspicion of a number of offences, including criminal damage.

One of the men has since been released on bail to allow for further enquiries. The other three men remain in custody at this time, assisting with enquiries.
