A police vehicle has been taken off the road after being rammed by a stolen car in the early hours of this morning.
Officers were called after a red Mitsubishi Colt was stolen from Dunmore Avenue in the north of the city.
A number of men were seen getting into the car in the Marsden Gardens area at 12.10am this morning, Wednesday, November 4.
Police attended and the stolen vehicle was spotted on the Cavehill Road. After failing to stop for police, the police vehicle was rammed causing frontal damage.
None of the officers involved reported any serious injuries.
The vehicle was seen travelling towards the Ballysillan area at around 12.15 am before being recovered in the Glanleam Drive area this morning.
Inspector Paul Noble said: "Thankfully the police officers were not seriously injured as a result of this incident, however the police vehicle has been taken off the road so it can be examined for road worthiness, which affects our service delivery.
"I want to appeal to anyone who may have observed a red-coloured Mitsubishi Colt in these areas, or has dash-cam footage, or who witnessed this incident to get in touch with us on 101 and quote reference number 07 of 04/11/20."
