Highly trained Police drivers fairly gave me a laugh this morning chasing this guy it was more like Key stone cops as one officer deployed the stinger at the junction of the Glen Road and Knock road beside the Braniel estate and the guy just drove around it, then the pursuing cars had to stop and wait til the officer lifted the stinger to let them carry on all while the guy made gestures to the police as he past lol
