Police this morning (City Centre) 05/04/2016

[byeo 10]

Does anyone know why marked and unmarked Police vehicles (including blacked out Ranger Rovers) have been flying around town this morning ? Saw them go down Derek Dooley Way towards Hillsborough and a couple of mins later back towards the parkway. Right now I can see two Police cars with lights on parked in the central reservation of Derek Dooley Way on the junction with Savile Street, and have been there for about 15 mins.

Seen this happen. Was sat at the lights having just come off the parkway. Saw around 6 cop cars coming towards us chasing a car which ended up smashing into the side of a bus. Driver got out and ran.

 

With the speed he was going and how hard he hit the bus, i am surpised he got out at all. Car was a real mess

Nursery Street is at a stand still due to the diversions in place, avoid if possible.
