Police 'sting' white Mercedes after spate of anti-social early-hours driving
Having failed to stop for authorities, police were forced to deploy a spike strip, a device used to impede vehicles by puncturing their tires, in order to prevent the driver from putting "themselves, but more importantly, other road users at risk."
Police claim the car - a white Mercedes - had been evading their efforts to apprehend it by "making off at high speed on numerous occasions," over the course of two nights. The incidents took place mainly around the Colne Raod area but also stretched further afield.
