Police are appealing for witnesses of a pursuit in Gloucester which took place earlier this week.

Roads Policing officers were patrolling in the Hempsted area at around 9.50am on Tuesday (17 September) when they attempted to stop a driver who had reacted to seeing them.

The driver of the car failed to stop and a pursuit took place through Hempstead and towards Cole Avenue.

The car later collided with a member of the public’s vehicle and the occupants decamped. A foot chase ensued but those involved were not located despite searches of the area.

Investigating officers are now asking anyone who witnessed the pursuit or has any relevant dashcam or CCTV footage to make contact.
