Three men arrested after car found crashed and abandoned in field

Three men were arrested on suspicion of various drugs offences in Londonderry, the PSNI said.

Police were investigating a report of a car failing to stop for officers in the Clooney Road area of the city on Friday.

At around 11pm on Friday, it was reported that a white BMW was driving erratically at the junction of the Ardlough Road and the Carnmoney Road area of the city.

The vehicle, which was described as being in a dangerous condition, then made off from police and was later discovered crashed and abandoned in a field in the area a short time later.

It is believed that three men made off from the car following the incident.

Officers subsequently detained the men and following a search of the vehicle, it was reported that a quantity of suspected class A controlled drugs were located by police.

One man, aged 20, was arrested on suspicion of possession of class A controlled drugs with intent to supply and various motoring-related offences.

Two men, aged 23 and 22, were also arrested on suspicion of possession of class A controlled drugs with intent to supply.

All three men have been released on bail pending further inquiries, the PSNI confirmed.

Police said that inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the incident are ongoing and have appealed to anyone who may have been in the area at the time who may have dashcam or other footage to contact them.
