Around 16:00 local time a driver, believed to have stolen an aircraft engine, was pursued by several police cars, while a passenger traveling in a separate vehicle was also tracked. The chase led to the vehicle being stopped on a dramatic bridge, where officers boarded the vehicle and arrested the driver and the passenger.
