High Speed Chase
Mon, 2006-08-07
Around 1:20pm today, Police were stationary on Paynters Road in Smith’s parish when they observed a silver Rover car which had been reported stolen traveling west along the same road. The Police officer followed the vehicle at a distance along Harrington Sound Road, through Devil’s Hole and then on to South Road. Then the car stopped in the area of Watch Hill Park. The officer approached the vehicle and told the driver to turn off the car’s engine, which he did. However, as the officer got off his Police motorcycle, the driver started the car and drove off at high speed. Police continued to pursue the vehicle along South Road, up Tee Street, on to Orange Valley Road, Palmetto Road, Dock Hill, North Shore Road, Spanish Point Road, St. John’s Road, Pitts Bay Road, Addendum Lane, Bakery Lane and Serpentine Road ending up on Cemetery Road, where the car collided with a Police Land Cruiser. The occupants of the vehicle, a 30 year old Devonshire man, a 30 year old Pembroke man, and a 33 year old Devonshire man, were arrested and taken to Hamilton Police Station and detained. None of the Police officers in the Police vehicle were injured in the collision. One of the suspects was taken to KEMH for observations following the incident. Inquiries are underway.
