Three arrested in road side smash and dash

(CNS): Police are currently investigating events surrounding a motor vehicle collision at Shamrock Road in the vicinity of Countryside Newlands that is unrelated to the current investigation into the Northward jail break. At around 6:45pm today, Friday 16 August, a vehicle traveling along Hirst Road collided with a utility pole, the RCIPSstated. The occupants then attempted to flee the scene and, as a consequence, two men and a woman were detained by the police. Contrary to earlier speculation, the RCIPS said that the escapees from Northward Prison were not among the occupants of the vehicle.

Anyone who was in the vicinity at the time and can assist the police with information are asked to contact Bodden Town Police Station at 947-2220.
