‘Kid’ steals police car after officer jumps out to pursue suspect
Footage has emerged of the moment a police car was stolen and taken for a joyride in Rochdale after an officer jumped out to pursue a suspect on foot.
Although police have not yet confirmed the age of the person behind the wheel, videos shared online described those involved as “kids”.
The driver is seen reversing the BMW 4×4 onto a pavement at speed before backing into a side road with the vehicle’s blue lights operating.
Greater Manchester Police have said they are hopeful the suspect has been identified ‘for further action’ and that the car was recovered close to the scene.
A spokesperson for the force said: “This happened after an officer left the car to bravely detain a 28-year-old man in a nearby shop following a pursuit.
“Someone decided to get into the car and behave in this unacceptable manner and now believe we have identified them for further action.”

Ban them for ever using any of our emergency services
Backing hate crime legislation and woke ideology hasn't exactly endeared the police to the public. Unless they stop doing dumb sh!t like that I can see things getting much worse for them!
Good driving skills

Badass, might aswell steal from criminals. I get the point.
These rascals have no shame. Embarassing behaviour and unintelligent but I'd still bet he will get + points amongst his incompetent friends.
