Police are appealing for information after reports of two men driving a white van attempted to pull a woman over in Co Down.
The incident happened from the Tillysburn area, through Dundonald and on to the West Winds estate in Newtownards at around 4.30pm on Sunday.
The woman did not pull over, however, when she stopped at her destination the two men drove off.
Chief Inspector Derek McCamley said: "If a car which is clearly marked 'Police' is attempting to stop you then you must do so, however police are advising all road users to report any activity like this, and not to interact with any vehicle that acts in this manner.
"If a driver finds themselves in similar circumstances, they should continue driving until you get to a police station to report the incident, or a well-lit and populated area where you can stop safely to call 999.
"We are aware that people are discussing this on social media however we would really encourage anyone who has concerns to phone police immediately and tell us what happened.
"A description of the vehicle or anyone in the vehicle can help police identify who is involved and make enquiries into all the incidents reported to us."
