Footage shows South Yorkshire Police officers struggling to apprehend a shoplifter who evaded them during a chase on a motorized three-wheeled wheelchair. The suspect managed to maneuver around the police car twice, prompting questions about why officers didn't pursue her on foot.
Police officers twice failed to catch a shoplifter in a wheelchair as she evaded them during a blue light car chase.
Officers twice tried to cut across her wheelchair during the chase in Sheffield as they attempted to force it to a halt. But the suspect escaped both times, manoeuvring around the car and continuing down the road. Loreto Valente, the manager of Coral Windows and Conservatories on Meadowhall Road, where the chase took place, questioned why the officers “didn’t get out and actually run”.: “The scooter … came down Meadowhall Road, which is directly outside our showroom, and carried on, going past us. I don’t know how far down Meadowhall Road they went or whether they turned off.“I’m assuming the police apprehended them in the end.
