The person who took the above picture, said police ‘rammed’ the vehicle, later confirmed by this picture via Steven:

Eyewitnesses have said the black vehicle was driving into oncoming traffic on St Giles way just prior to being stopped by Lidl.

Car overtaking madly and at speed on the hill down from the Holly Bush on the way towards Alyn Waters – almost hit us on the wrong side of the road. Being chased by at least three police cars then.
