Appeal for witnesses after dangerous driving incident in Winchester

We are appealing for witnesses after a vehicle failed to stop for police in Winchester.

Patrolling officers attempted to stop a navy Toyota Prius on Bar End Road, at around 10am on Tuesday 4 March.

The vehicle failed to stop, and took the off slip road towards the roundabout of the M3 and Garnier Road.

The driver then overtook static vehicles at a traffic light, and proceeded to drive through two red lights before driving onto Garnier Road.

They then entered the carpark at St Catherine’s Hill before decamping from the vehicle.

Following an area search, a 24-year-old man from Southampton was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, failing to stop, and driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence. He has been released on police bail.

Officers are appealing for anyone who was on these roads at the time and witnessed the driving to come forward.

Did you see anything? Perhaps you have dashcam footage showing the vehicle?
