Two men have been arrested and a shotgun seized following a foot chase in Co Westmeath.
On Wednesday, a plain-clothes Garda patrol identified a car of interest to them in Mullingar and directed it to stop.
However, gardai said it initially failed to stop before coming to a halt after “a period of time”.
A man in his 30s fled the car and was chased on foot before being apprehended by gardai and arrested.
A bag which was discarded during the chase was recovered by gardai and a firearm and ammunition were seized.
A second occupant of the vehicle, a man in his 50s, was also arrested and both men were taken to a Garda Station in Co Westmeath where they were detained under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act, 1939.
A number of follow up searches were conducted at residential premises in the Mullingar area and items of evidence were seized.
Investigations are ongoing.
