He didn't, and was chased by the car and the copter, and 'was brought to a controlled stop'! laughalot01 31-12-2007, 14:58 A MOTORIST who went through a red light in the Longley area this morning was chased through the Sheffield suburb by a police car and the force helicopter. He was spotted jumping the lights by a passing patrol car but failed to stop when officers flagged him down. The motorist was followed by the police car and tracked from above by the South Yorkshire Police helicopter. A police spokeswoman said: "There was a brief pursuit after he failed to stop after driving through a red light. "He was brought to a controlled stop." there you go story here satman2222 31-12-2007, 18:44 I though you were TTP........ but here it is. http://www.thestar.co.uk/headlines/BREAKING-Police-chase-through-city.3630372.jp :roll: mr_busdriver 31-12-2007, 19:22 i wondered the same thing :S the helicopter was really low Helicopter flying lessions, for new member of Police Helicopter dept "OK son, you need to be higher than this..... !!!" CAPRICORN_61 01-01-2008, 10:33 I saw the helicopter going over Longley but that was about 2.30am this morning When I was waiting at the traffic lights junction of Netto & Pheasant pub, a van of police officers with blue light flashing came up Barnsley Road, (NGH - side) turned right onto Hatfield House Lane and sped off somewhere . We then saw a police car come up Jenkin ave with blue lights on, don't know what that was all about probably going to same incident? bagger 01-01-2008, 11:03 All that for a jumped red light?:huh::huh: beansforyou 01-01-2008, 11:15 Seems quite ironic after just reading the thread about having their cars smashed three times and the police unable to come out doesn't it. daftlad 01-01-2008, 11:49 All that for a jumped red light?:huh::huh: yeah but it will make the crime figures look a bit better-talk about overkill paulhodgkins 01-01-2008, 19:20 Overkill, maybe, but if he did'nt run in the first place, it would'nt have happened. From what I saw, (I was about 25yds away), from the age of him, it looked like he'd been joy-riding. The Police dont handcuff you and throw in the back of a police van for jumping a red light. Oh, and several Police Volvo's and the Police Subaru were there too, as well as the Helicopter. satman2222 01-01-2008, 19:28 Hi All, Does anyone have any idea whats going off by Longley juniour school? Theres police cars all over with flashing lights and Two helicopters also there, Lee If there were 2 helecopters, the other one was probably the BBC filming it for the next chopper coppers series. Googleberry 01-01-2008, 19:32 If there were 2 helecopters, the other one was probably the BBC filming it for the next chopper coppers series. Well that explains the enthusiastic Police response then! Twiglet 01-01-2008, 19:37 yeah but it will make the crime figures look a bit better-talk about overkill Failure to stop usually indicates there is something rather more untoward about car or driver than simply running a red light - hence the 'overkill'. wizadooo 02-01-2008, 19:52 The car was stopped by a specially trained team from the Road Polcing Group, that target criminals using motor vehicles, obivously more to it than the red light, but clearly that isnt gonna be publisised ! Get a grip !!!!!!! TWIGLET thankyou for the sensible post (only one on the thread). DAFTLAD.............good name !!, running red lights doesnt tend to boost crime figures as its a road traffic offence and not a recordable crime, but thanks for the input. The thought of the BBC flying shotgun.............?????? :loopy: Darkoak 02-01-2008, 20:10 Well said Wizadoo. I am personally aware of exactly what happened and the nature of the incident - which obviously I'm not going to discuss here. Suffice to say 'Daftlad' and others, it doesn't pay to jump to anti-Police conclusions, when you are making assumptions based merely on press releases from that 'reliable' source called 'The Star' dan_999uk 02-01-2008, 21:08 yeah but it will make the crime figures look a bit better-talk about overkill No, they were chased for failure to stop for police, which could be for a variety of reasons, such as a wanted individual, or a boot full of guns, or drugs, or a dead body :roll: wizadooo 03-01-2008, 14:21 Well said Wizadoo. I am personally aware of exactly what happened and the nature of the incident - which obviously I'm not going to discuss here. Yes me too, nuff said ! |
