Three Teens Arrested Following Police Pursuit In Co Antrim
Three teenagers have been arrested following a police pursuit in Co Antrim.
The teenaged boys, two aged 16 and one aged 15, failed to stop for the police in the Glenmanus Road area in Portrush at around 10pm on Sunday.
Chief Inspector Catherine Magee said: "As police were in pursuit the car collided with another vehicle at the Metropole roundabout and then carried on towards Bushmills along the Dunluce Road where officers deployed a stinger in order to bring the car to a stop.
"Even with all four tyres burst, the car continued to try and evade officers until it collided with a parked police car in Bushmills.
"Three males, including the driver, were arrested however one passenger fled the scene.
"Thankfully the occupant of the car at the Metropole was not hurt and the police officer in the parked car was only slightly injured as a result of the collisions however it is only by sheer good fortune that no other police officer or member of the public was seriously hurt or killed.
"We are continuing our efforts to find the fourth passenger and a full investigation is under way."
Police are appealing for anyone with information or who saw the male occupants of a grey Nissan Almera, registration HKZ 6883, to contact them.
