A white Dundalk football snood has become a clue in a car chase involving the PSNI in Newry and a car stolen in the Republic.
The snood was discarded, along with a large kitchen knife, by three males who abandoned the stolen vehicle.
In a statement the PSNI have appealed for information, saying:
“On Thursday afternoon, Interceptors from Sprucefield were involved in a pursuit with this stolen car. It had been stolen in the Republic of Ireland.
“The pursuit ended when three males abandoned the vehicle close to Pig Tail Avenue / Helen’s Terrace in Newry.

“If you have any information that may assist please call 101 quoting incident number 975 - 14/08/25.”
