Police in Derry/Londonderry seized a vehicle earlier today, Thursday 5th September, following a road-related incident in the city.

The seizure follows an incident at approximately 9.35am today when District Support Team officers on patrol in the Southway area in the city were alerted to the way a blue BMW was being driven. They signalled for the driver to stop, but the driver continued on through Creggan where the vehicle mounted a kerb. There were members of the public in the vicinity at the time. 

The vehicle came to a stop in the area.

As part of enquiries, police arrested a male who was subsequently given a Penalty Notice for the offence of Obstructing Police.

The vehicle has been seized. 

Inspector Pearce said: "Our enquiries into this incident are continuing, and I want to take this opportunity to appeal to anyone who witnessed this incident, or may have captured relevant footage to call us on 101, quoting reference 353 of 05/09/24."
