SIX POLICE OFFICERS were injured in Northern Ireland last night after their vehicles were rammed by a stolen car.
Four teenagers were detained after a PSNI helicopter helped police locate suspects connected to a creeper-style robbery in Newtownabbey, Co Antrim.
Police said they received a report of individuals acting suspiciously in the Lynda Meadows area shortly before 11.45pm.
Two suspects, aged 17 and 19, were arrested a short time later on suspicion of attempted burglary.
Shortly before 1.45am, while officers were conducting follow-up enquiries in Lynda Meadows, the stolen car rammed two police vehicles and made off from the area.
The car was followed to Belfast by on-the-ground officers and the PSNI helicopter before it rammed another police vehicle on Cullingtree Walk.
A total of three PSNI vehicles were damaged as a result of collisions with the car.
Two males, aged 15 and 16, who escaped on foot were arrested on suspicion of burglary and a number of motoring offences.
All four suspects remain in custody assisting police with their enquiries, the PSNI said.
