Major appeal launched over high speed cross border chase

 

Police are appealing for information following a high speed cross border chase overnight.
A grey Honda Civic Type R was reportedly driving erratically on the Racecourse Road area of Derry and when confronted by police, it fled towards the Donegal border.
Police were first alerted to the scene shortly after 10pm last night and the car subsequently made off in the direction of the border.
For the next hour it drove back and forth between Donegal and Derry at high speed.
Both police and Gardai set up a number of check points in a bid to stop the car.
Police were able to get this vehicle stopped using a stinger on the Racecourse Road
However the vehicle travelled to Clon Elagh where it was abandoned and the driver made off at around midnight.
Police are urging anyone who maybe know who was driving the grey Honda civic type R last night, if you saw where he ran to or if you know where he’s staying right now, to call the non-emergency number on 101.
