Officers from the Roads Policing Proactive Team revealed details of a number of vehicles being seized across South Yorkshire, including several in Doncaster.
A spokesperson said: “We’ve been providing force wide cover to intercept vehicle borne criminals of all kinds, as well as dealing with any motoring offences identified along the way.”
In one incident, the driver of a stolen Mercedes “chose to evade police upon sighting.”
“The risk taking was disproportionate for officers to follow,” the statement stated. Hopefully, forensics will be able to connect the driver with the found vehicle. Soon, there will be a knock on the door.
In addition, authorities in Doncaster confiscated an Audi after observing it driving about the city without the required paperwork.
“For some reason, the driver didn’t want to hang around and introduce themselves, how rude,” the representative continued. taken, then disposed of.
Officers also pounced on a Ford Cmax that contained a man wanted for several offences and prison recall.
“Not what he expected when he was nipping to Morrisons,” added the spokesperson. “If you are an offender at large in South Yorkshire, don’t make plans for the day or we may come and ruin them them we swoop in and arrest you.”
A that was involved in criminality around South Yorkshire and later revealed to be a stolen vehicle from Doncaster, was also seized.
The vehicle failed to stop for officers in the Wath area and eventually came to rest on someone’s front garden in Bolton Upon Dearne, police said.
They added: “This is typical of the mentality of these individuals, who will show total disregard for anyone other than themselves in their bid to evade capture. It is luck rather than judgement that no one was hurt or even worse as the vehicle entered a residential cul-de-sac at speed where kids were playing. You should be ashamed.
“One man arrested and enquiries ongoing to reveal who his associates were.
“We are ready for the days off to recuperate ready to come back and do it all again.”
