Driver who failed to stop for police in Flint went on to shunt two of their vehicles

Police are appealing for witnesses after a car failed to stop for officers in Flint earlier yesterday.

At 12.22pm officers were made aware that a vehicle of interest to them was making its way along the A550.

The red Peugeot 207, being driven by a man, was seen travelling northbound at Flint Mountain heading towards the general direction of Flint.

The Peugeot was followed by two cars from the priority intercept team and as it travelled along the A5119 into Flint officers made an attempt to stop it.

The driver of the Peugeot reversed into one of the police cars and drove into the rear bumper of the second police car. The second car received minor damage.

Officers continued to follow the Peugeot which then travelled onto Halkyn Street and continued to travel at speed through a narrow cul de sac.

The vehicle was lost around the area of Brushwood Avenue and located unoccupied a short time later on Aled Crescent.

A quantity of drugs were found inside the car and the vehicle was seized. Enquiries to locate the driver are ongoing.

Anybody who may have witnessed the red Peugeot 207 travelling in the area, or who may have seen the male running from the car is asked to contact PC Emma Birrell at the intercept team quoting reference number Y057584.
