A car that led cops on a high speed chase around Glasgow city centre and drove the wrong way on the M77 has been found burnt out.
The Citroen C4 car was traced by officers in Craigmaddie Road, near to its junction with Strathblane Road, after it was deliberately set on fire.
Police believe it is the same vehicle that drove the wrong way on the motorway to avoid being caught just after midnight on Saturday.
We told yesterday of how officers had to abandon the chase due to safety concerns.
A man was seen running from the Citroen after it had been set alight towards a light coloured VW Golf car. He then got into the vehicle as it fled north on Craigmaddie Road.
There is a limited description of the man, who is around 5 ft. 10 to 5 ft. 11 inches in height, with a slim build.
He was wearing khaki coloured trousers and a long sleeved top.
Detectives are continuing enquires after the discovery around 2pm yesterday.
Detective Inspector Steven Watson said: “We believe this is the vehicle which made off from officers yesterday in Finnieston Road.
"We continue to piece together all the information we have on these incidents and we know members of the public were in the area at the time this car was set alight, I would appeal to those members of the public to contact us.
"Any small detail or piece of information could assist us in our enquiries. I would also ask motorists driving on Craigmaddie Road or Strathblane Road between 1.45pm and 2.15pm yesterday afternoon to check their dash cam footage, they may have an image which could assist our investigation.”
Anyone with information is being urged to call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 1995 of 24 April, 2021.
Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.
