A man's being questioned in Dundalk, after Police and Gardaí were alerted to a car being stolen in Belfast yesterday, with a young woman still inside.
The PSNI says a girl escaped from the car when it stopped briefly in Lisburn - before it was spotted on the A1 a short time later, driving towards the border at speeds over 160kph.
The 17-year-old girl was uninjured but left shaken by her ordeal.
Gardaí later located the car on Newry Road in Dundalk and a man in his 20s was arrested nearby.
