Police chase 4x4

The chase began after a Mitsubishi 4x4 Pajero collided with a police car in Park Lane, Blunham, causing a large amount of damage to the emergency vehicle’s side and taking off its rear bumper.

The Bedfordshire Police officers were uninjured and immediately reported the incident, which took place on Tuesday at 2.30pm.

The Mitsubishi fled towards Sandy as back-up officers were called in and rushed to catch up with the vehicle and bring it to a halt.

It went through the playing field at Sunderland Road Recreation Ground, causing further damage, before stopping in Wesley Road.

Three men jumped out of the car and tried to flee the scene but were caught by pursuing police officers and arrested.

The men, aged 17, 20 and 21 years old, have now been released on police bail pending further enquiries.
