A man has been arrested after leading gardaí on a dangerous driving spree across Donegal.
The man, who is in his 40s, was spotted acting suspiciously in the Donegal Town area on Thursday.
The black Mazda car then took off from the Upper Main Street area of the town before heading out into the countryside around 6.20pm.
The speeding car took off across several areas while being pursued by gardaí.
The car traveled Lough Eske Road, Gortloskey, Drumeenagh, Spierstown, the main N15/Ballybofey Road, Finnabanes, Mullanalamphry, Leghowney, Moyne and Bridgetown.
The suspected driver of the car was later arrested.
Gardaí are now appealing for witnesses and seeking dash-cam footage from anyone who may have been travelling in any of those areas between 6.20pm and 7pm.
A garda spokesperson said: "We appeal to anyone who may have travelled in any of those areas with a dash-cam between 6.20pm and 7pm yesterday evening to make the footage available to investigating gardaí.
"If anyone witnessed any of these incidents, we ask them to contact Gardaí in Donegal Town on 074 9740190 or the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111."
