Police issued a fine and penalty points to a woman driving without insurance on the A1 road in Armagh. The incident occurred while Armed Response officers patrolled after an event in Newry, heading back to Belfast.

Officers passed a car where the female driver made a rude hand gesture toward them. They stopped the vehicle and confirmed she lacked a valid insurance policy. Two young children were passengers in the car.

Roadside checks led to a ticket with a £200 fine and six penalty points. Armed Response units patrol major Northern Ireland road networks alongside regular duties.
