Runaway Driver Arrested

The Civil Guard has arrested a runaway driver who stole a car and then fled from a police check point in Torrevieja when he realised he’d be breathalysed. The chase lasted for more than 20 minutes with the driver ploughing across roundabouts and driving on the wrong side of the road endangering the lives of other road users. When caught he then tried to escape on foot after attacking the arresting officers. It was discovered the 21 year-old has a long police record and had allegedly stolen the keys and the car from a house robbery in Orihuela.
