The driver of a Vauxhall Insignia led Police on a pursuit after failing to stop for officers carrying out targeted patrols between Ventnor and Wroxall last night (Thursday).
Officers were patrolling the area as part of Operation Sidlaw, an ongoing effort targeting locations affected by reports of anti-social driving and excessive vehicle noise.
At around 20:00, officers spotted a vehicle of interest travelling from Ventnor towards Wroxall.
Police followed the grey Vauxhall Insignia onto Rew Lane and attempted to bring it to a stop – but the driver had other ideas.
The vehicle failed to stop and instead sped off back towards Ventnor, prompting officers to give chase.
Despite efforts to locate the Insignia, officers were unable to find the vehicle.
Enquiries continue.
