A lorry-load of alcohol has been seized by revenue officials in Northern Ireland.

It followed reports of a vehicle acting suspiciously.

Roads Policing interceptors from Enniskillen and Omagh assisted in the multi-agency operation after the lorry-tractor unit failed to stop.

Police said the vehicle was being driven in a dangerous manner before crossing into the Irish Republic.

Officers then attended an operating centre linked to the vehicle.

Whilst on site, a trailer was discovered containing a large quantity of alcohol.

HM Revenue and Customs was contacted and the trailer was seized.

A total of £46,473 of revenue was being evaded, police said.
