Police chases grey Mercedes from Geylang to Marine Parade, teen, 17, arrested for dangerous driving, under influence of drugs

The police chased a grey Mercedes from Geylang to Marine Parade when the car failed to stop for a police check.

Footage of the chase was uploaded to SG Road Vigilante's Facebook page, where at least four traffic police officers on motorcycles and one police car pursued the car through the streets.

The chase eventually ended when the car crashed into another vehicle along Marine Parade Road.

The driver was then apprehended by the police and handcuffed.

Arrested

In response to Mothership's queries, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) shared that traffic police officers were patrolling along Paya Lebar Road near the slip road into PIE on Jan. 16 at around 10:50pm.

The officers signalled for a car to stop for a routine check; however, the driver refused to comply and sped off.

Officers gave chase, and during the pursuit, the car collided with four cars and a van. Eventually, the car was found along Marine Parade Road, where it had collided with another car.

The male car driver, 17, fled the scene on foot but was subsequently apprehended by officers, said SPF. The teen was arrested for driving under the influence of drugs and dangerous driving.

He is also being investigated for restriction of driving by a young person, using a vehicle without insurance, using a deregistered vehicle, using a vehicle with an expired road tax, and using a forged licence.

An e-vaporiser was also found in the car, and the case will be referred to the Health Sciences Authority.

Investigations are ongoing.
