Chase Generates Charges
The four men arrested after a dramatic chase involving police and a van in west Belfast on Tuesday have been charged with a total of 23 offences. During the high speed pursuit, two allegedly stolen generators were said to have been pushed from the van which collided with two other vehicles at Upper Dunmurry Lane and Kennedy Way - injuring a man, a woman and a child before the vehicle, slowed by a police stinger, was abandoned at Monagh Bypass.
Oops! Wrong House: PSNI
Four police officers confronted a Strabane woman in her own home before realising they had got the wrong house. She said she has been troubled with nightmares since it happened. The BBC has reported that Gale Doherty met the PSNI as they burst into her hallway in St Colman's Drive. A senior officer has since apologised for the mistake.
