Gardaí and the PSNI are looking for a man who hijacked a garda car at a petrol station in Blake’s Cross near Balbriggan last night and drove it across the Border into Nothern Ireland.
The incident happened at about 9.30pm when the man was stopped on suspicion of drink-driving.
He was placed in the back of a patrol car but managed to get into the front seat and drive away, while gardaí were inspecting his car.
Gardaí pursued him through the toll bridge at Drogheda but he escaped and drove into Northern Ireland.
The PSNI located the car outside Newry.
