(ADW) There were dramatic scenes in Mersch on Thursday night, as a car chase took place worthy of an American police TV series.
It all began at about 11.30pm when thieves were spotted stealing a trailer from a workshop in Mersch by an eyewitness who quickly contacted police.
The officers arrived at the scene startling the culprits who instantly fled in their car. It was then the chase began as police set off in pursuit taking them through Mersch, Pettingen, Moesdorf, Bissen, Grosbus and Grevels.
In an attempt to shake off the police the perpetrators even threw items out of the car onto the road to try and obstruct the police car. The thieves then rammed into the police car damaging it.
It was when the fleeing car sped through Kuborn that the dramatic turn of events came to an abrupt end as the vehicle crashed into a wall.
The driver was taken to hospital with minor injuries, but both him and his accomplice had criminal proceedings brought against them as well as being fingerprinted.
