Police are investigating an instance of dangerous driving on Kingsway East in Dundee on Friday, 16 June.

Officers were made aware of an online video of a grey BMV car circling the Milton of Craigie roundabout at speed at around 9.30pm that evening.

Inspector Michelle Burns, Tayside Roads Policing Unit, said:

“We have recently been made aware of the incident and the online footage. Enquiries are ongoing to trace the driver of the car which had been stolen but has since been recovered.

“This manner of driving is totally irresponsible and utterly dangerous. Thankfully on this occasion, no one was injured but had the driver lost control of the car, especially at this busy roundabout, members of the public would have been put in serious danger.

“The car was stolen from Auchtertool in Fife on Monday, 29 May and recovered in the Douglas area of Dundee on Monday, 19 June.

"Enquiries are ongoing with regard to the theft, however, we are keen to identify who was driving the car on last Friday night."

If you have any information about either incident, the dangerous driving or theft of the car, then please call police via 101 quoting reference number 4849 on Saturday, 17 June 2023. Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be called anonymously on 0800 555 111.
