While trying to control a vehicle, Sunday around 11:30 p.m. near Estroublans, in Vitrolles near Marseille, police officers were targeted, according to Provence.
Instead of submitting to the control, the drivers fled towards the northern districts of Marseille, the BAC on the heels. Twenty-five minutes later, the suspects came across a roadblock set up by a Marseille crew from the interdepartmental public transport security service (SISTC), called in as reinforcements.
1,000 liters of diesel found in the vehicle
Rather than stopping, the car drove into the police on their way, writes the local newspaper. Four police officers were injured and briefly hospitalized for neck and back pain. The chase stopped in stride, rue Serge Dourian.
Vitrolles BAC agents arrested the driver and his passenger. In the trunk, the police discovered a tank containing 1,000 liters of diesel. The two men, aged 31 and 36, were taken into custody. The investigation was entrusted to the departmental security.
