A short time later surprised police officers watched as the car thieves
tried to drive into Middleton Police Station car park, found it locked,
then started reversing the stolen car towards a police car and dog
handler.
In a post on Facebook officers
recount how: "The occupants of the vehicle opened the doors and
hot-footed it away, pursued by the officers and the Police dog ... and
were detained nearby.
As is quite common practice people who steal cars hide them from the
police in underground car parks for a few days in order to avoid them
being recovered to the owners.
"On this occasion it would seem these offenders chose the wrong
underground car park ie the POLICE STATION to try to hide the car and,
to compound their poor judgement, just as the officers were returning
back to the station!!!!!!!!"
Two men have since been arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor
vehicle.
