Police have confirmed that a Tesco delivery van was hijacked in Co Down earlier today.
Two men forced the driver from the van and made off in it from the scene at Georges Street in Newtownards shortly before 5pm on Friday.
The PSNI said the van was then driven from Newtownards through Dundonald and Holywood before officers employed a stinger device at Dee Street, bringing the vehicle to a halt a short distance away on the Sydenham By-Pass, just outside Belfast.
