Three men have been arrested after a car being driven erratically in north Belfast was chased by police on Wednesday at around 9.45pm.
Police noticed the car driving dangerously on the West Circular Road, close to the Ballygomartin Road junction. A brief police pursuit ensued however the car got away. The car was later seen, at approximately 10.25pm, in the Oldpark Road area where it was brought to a stop and the three men were arrested.
