The car was involved in an RTC with a parked vehicle in the Lineside area a short time later. The three people, two men and a woman, made off from the scene.

The 29-year-old woman was later arrested on suspicion of several driving offences including driving with excess alcohol and dangerous driving.

"This is an excellent example of the public working with police and their help was vital in assisting us to secure an arrest.
