A man and a woman in their 30s have been arrested on suspicion of a number of offences following a car chase in west Belfast on Thursday morning.
Police said officers spotted a car being driven "erratically" on Springfield Road at 03:20 GMT.
The driver refused signals to stop and a pursuit ensued in the Falls Road area.
The man, who was driving the car, then abandoned the vehicle in on Mica Drive.
The female passenger remained in the car.
Checks by officers showed the car had been stolen earlier in the evening from an address in Woodbourne Court, in a "creeper" style burglary.
The man and the woman were arrested on suspicion of aggravated vehicle taking in which the vehicle is driven dangerously and possession of a class A and B controlled drugs.
They have since been released on bail to allow for further enquiries.
