Footage has emerged capturing the chaotic moment a police car was stolen during a pursuit in Rochdale. The dramatic clip shows an officer abandoning the vehicle to chase a suspect on foot, only for an unknown individual—described by onlookers as a “kid”—to leap into the driver’s seat and speed off in the police BMW 4×4. The driver recklessly reverses the car onto the pavement, activating the vehicle’s blue lights as they navigate the streets at alarming speeds.
Greater Manchester Police have since indicated they are close to identifying the suspect for further action and confirmed that the stolen police car was recovered near the scene. A spokesperson noted, “This incident occurred after an officer courageously attempted to detain a 28-year-old man in a nearby shop. Unfortunately, someone decided to commandeer the vehicle and act in such an irresponsible manner.”
