Four men have been arrested after a van they were driving failed to stop for law enforcement on both sides of the Irish border.

Counterfeit money was also seized as part of the operation on Saturday.

Shortly before 12.00pm the PSNI was advised that a white-coloured van had failed to stop for An Garda Síochána near Ward's Cross and made off towards Middletown in Co Armagh.

A short time later police on patrol on the Armagh Road in Moy saw the van and signalled for it to stop.

The van failed to stop and made off.

It 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 to bring the van to a stop.

The van then rammed another police vehicle before making off again.

The vehicle was finally stopped by police on Carrickcloughen Hill in Camlough, Co Armagh.

Four men - aged 25, 28, 32 and 35 - were arrested on suspicion of a number of offences and remain in police custody.

Police are appealing to anyone who witnessed what happened, or who has information which they believe may assist the investigation, to contact PSNI officers.
