Police searching for a missing 21-year-old woman are continuing to question a man arrested in Lurgan, County Armagh.
Chloe Mitchell was last seen in central Ballymena late on Friday night, into the early hours of Saturday.
On Thursday night, the Community Rescue Service conducted searches along the Braid River in the County Antrim town.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said Ms Mitchell was seen on CCTV walking in the direction of James Street at the weekend.
Ch Insp Arnie O’Neill said officers were “becoming increasingly concerned” as to her whereabouts.
“Chloe was wearing a green and black The North Face-style jacket, a white t-shirt, leggings and Nike trainers,” he said.
“A 26-year-old man has been arrested in Lurgan this afternoon and is currently helping police with enquiries.”
In a social media post, K9 Search and Rescue said its team had assisted in the search for Ms Mitchell in the Harryville area of Ballymena on Wednesday evening.
