Police car damaged in Middletown

Two officers were injured after a police car was deliberately crashed into in Middletown on Monday.

Officers on patrol in the Monaghan Road area at around 2.40pm, on November 4, signalled to a grey Audi A6 to stop, however the vehicle made off in the direction of Armagh, colliding with a pillar as it did so.

Nearby, the Audi was then deliberately reversed into the police vehicle twice, causing significant damage was meant that the vehicle could not be driven further.

Inspector Moffet said: “Our two officers reported injuries which, at this time, are thankfully not thought to be serious.

“The Audi, which had a smashed rear window, left the area.

“It’s likely that this vehicle would be easily identifiable due to the damage it would have sustained.

“We are appealing to anyone who may have seen the vehicle or witnessed the collision, particularly anyone with dash-cam or CCTV footage that could assist with enquires, to contact us on 101, quoting reference number 1011 of 04/11/24.”
