Three men arrested after failing to stop for police in Londonderry have been released from custody.

A white BMW being driven erratically was reported to police at about 23:00 BST on Friday in the Clooney Road area.

The driver failed to stop for police and the car was found crashed and abandoned in a field nearby.

The three men who police believe fled the crash scene were later arrested but have since been released on police bail pending further enquiries.

Police also discovered "a quantity of suspected Class A drugs" following a search of the car.

A man in his 20s had been arrested over suspected drug possession with intent to supply and a number of motoring offences.

Two men aged 23 and 22 were also been arrested for suspected drug possession with intent to supply.

Police are appealing for anyone with information to contact them.
