‘Bizarre’ Derbyshire driver abandons car and flees from police – only to return to the scene and have vehicle seized
A driver saw his car seized by police after fleeing from officers – only to return to the scene in a ‘bizarre’ attempt to prove his innocence.
On Wednesday, August 3, the Derbyshire Roads Policing Unit attended an incident at Tibshelf.
They were patrolling the area when a driver spotted their car. Having noticed the police, he decided to park and run away from his car.
In a tweet, the DRPU said: “Bizarrely, he then decided to return to the car prior to recovery to claim his innocence and explain that someone else was driving. Our officer has known the driver for 15 years.”
