A 32-year-old woman from Suffolk has been arrested on suspicion of assaulting police following an incident that saw a van with cloned number plates roll into a belisha beacon in Ryde last night (Thursday).
As previously reported by Island Echo, Police spotted a vehicle with cloned plates on Union Road at around 21:20 and followed the vehicle until it stopped on East Hill Road.
As officers approached the car, the male driver released the handbrake and the car collided with a zebra crossing light.
The male driver ran off and was not located. The female passenger then assaulted 2 officers before being taken to the ground and arrested.
Island Roads operatives made sure the crossing was safe.
Wonder what they were doing on the island………
None of your business!!
So it ain’t only Caulkheads who cannot drive!
The police were the ones that made the vehicle crash into the post. They didn’t think to put the handbrake on did they. Just trying to cover their incompetents and to make a nice juicy story for you all. Don’t believe everything you read
Probably come over to collect some of that white powder
Yeah boi. That’s why he got away so fast
Cloned plates
perfect for dodging ules and some unsuspecting person will get the bill. Lock the scumbag up
Before locking it up, have it sterilised to stop it breeding….
it’s a clone.
Dump it at Portsmouth Harbour and ban it from ever returning.
I’m sure she’s really pleased her ‘friend’ (accomplice) got away leaving her to deal with it.
She’ll just claim that she was hitchhiking.
Piss off back to Suffolk, bitch and take your 2 bit boyfriend with you! Up to no good huh?
…and so many people want a fixed link! Stolen vehicles/cloned plates would increase, drug supply increase, burglaries increase, theft would increase because it’d be so easy to get between the island and mainland without having to go through the paper trail ferry bookings, CCTV onboard the ferries of the offenders, the cost itself (agree, costly at peak times), the precious 1.5-2 hrs the witness/police can notify the ferries to get them detained at the other end…. not having a fixed link is actually a huge crime deterrent for the island. People may think it’s bad now, you just wait and see if a fixed link was built! …please note I said “increase”, not that it’s not going on already
hi from suffuk: we wondered where one of our cnuts went to!
