Car driving wrong way down M77 motorway.
Detectives are appealing for information regarding a vehicle which was seen driving the wrong way down the M77 motorway.
Around five past midnight into Saturday, 24 April, 2021, officers carried out a compliant stop of a car, a white Citroen C4, on the Broomielaw, near Finnieston Street. As officers approached the car, it sped off and did a U-turn heading up Finnieston Street. Officers pursued the vehicle which drove through various streets, including St. Vincent Street, Kingston Bridge, West Street, Scotland Street and Seaward Street and eventually drove up the off ramp of the M77. At that point police abandoned the pursuit due to safety concerns.
The last sighting of the car was on the M77 at J2 near Silverburn.
Enquiries carried out so far have revealed the vehicle is using a false registration. Officers are in the process of gathering and reviewing CCTV footage for any additional information on the occupants of the car and to try and locate where it drove to.
Detective Inspector Steven Watson said: “I am appealing to motorists and taxi drivers for any further information on the car and its occupants, in particular those with dash cams, I would ask you to check your images as you may have captured footage which could prove to be important in our enquiries. If you have any information on this incident or the vehicle, please do get in touch.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 0031of 24 April 2021. Alternatively, please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information can be given anonymously.
