Burnt out lights, wrong-way roundabouts, stuck vehicles: the driver ended up being arrested in the Figuerolles district, during the night of Saturday to Sunday October 1st.
During the night from Saturday to Sunday, October 1, a motorist took all the risks to try to escape the national police. It was 2 a.m. when a crew spotted him near the Lapeyronie University Hospital, while he was driving with all lights off and had just run a red light.
From Mosson to Figuerolles via Castelnau
The police try to control him but the driver refuses to comply. It’s the start of a chase across the city which will last 50 minutes. The individual reaches the Lyre roundabout, then goes to the Pompidou high school, in Castelnau-le-Lez, then leaves avenue de l’Europe, in la Mosson, before continuing his crazy race in the area of avenue de la Justice-de-Castelnau and avenue Saint-Lazare, among others.
He throws his cell phone and a tear gas canister out the window
As he passes, the driver burns several lights, refuses priorities, catches the mirrors of parked cars. He also swerves to hinder the progress of the police vehicle. The police saw him throw a cell phone and a tear gas canister out of the window.
This journey ends in the Figuerolles district, rue de la Commune-Clôture, a dead end where the suspect abandons his car and tries to flee, before being arrested. Aged 26, he is already known to the police and is in possession of 19 g of cannabis resin. Refusing to submit to the alcohol test, he explains that he got rid of his tear gas canister because he is under judicial control with a ban on carrying a weapon.
The young man was taken into police custody and brought forward Monday morning.
