Car failed to stop for police

Mon, 31 Dec 2012

Police are appealing for witnesses after a car failed to stop for police and narrowly missed hitting an officer.

It happened on Peel Road in Douglas near to Pulrose Bridge at around 11.45pm on Friday.

A police officer signaled a dark coloured Peugeot saloon to pull over, but the driver wouldn’t stop and the car was later found abandoned in Pulrose.

Two other cars, including a fast food delivery vehicle, were in the area at the time and it’s hoped their occupants witnessed the incident.

Anyone with information is asked to call police headquarters.
