A 54-year-old man was arrested for drink driving after he failed to stop at Garda and PSNI checkpoints along the border between Co Tyrone and Co Monaghan.
The man was arrested in Aughnacloy, Co Tyrone, earlier today.
Large numbers of Garda and PSNI checkpoints have been set up to prevent people from travelling across the country for the May bank holiday weekend.
The measures are similar to those set up during the Easter weekend amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
