Police probed after 'pensioner's car smashed'
 

Bloody Hell! thats quite disturbing innit?, they should stop giving coppers hrt tablets with their fry up i reckon

lucky he didnt go over the speed limit during the getaway, or they would have been upset!!!

:bike::bike::bike::wave::wave:

hmm... i wonder if they asked him to stop/open window before they smashed it.

although it says something about the thickness of glass in those range rovers... it took a hell of a beating before it broke!

idiots

Poor old chap

a**holes more like,thats well out of order,could see the point if it was an 18yr old on the thieve,but a 70 yr old guy,come on nae need for that

I read somewhere that he'd hit a policeman at some point. Will be interesting to find out the full story. Looks OTT from what's on the BBC though.

There must be more to this story than mentioned.

Even if the chap did something wrong I cannot see how that action is justified, that to me is a criminal offence in itself. Guess we need to hear the full story to see how it got this far.

It happened fairly local to me, it seems that he was stopped for not wearing a seatbelt initially, so he did stop, and then it seems there was some confusion and the guy assumed the police had finished with him, so he drove off.

The reaction is completely out of proportion, I mean ffs he's a 70 year old.
