Two males were arrested after a stolen tractor, pulling a trailer, was recovered by police at Markethill.
Police have since charged a man following the theft from Gilford.
Police received a report of the suspicious movement of a tractor and trailer on the Cladymilltown Road, Markethill, during the early hours of Friday, March 4.
Officers attended and a 21-year-old man and 15-year-old boy were arrested.
The tractor and trailer were recovered.
The 21-year-old was subsequently charged with criminal damage, dangerous driving, failing to stop for police, taking a motor vehicle without authority and driving with no insurance.
He will appear before Newry Magistrates’ Court on March 30.
