Watch: High speed police chase through London
The video shows the car travelling at dangerous speeds on the wrong side of the road
A high-speed police chase through the capital has been captured on camera after a car was spotted travelling at double the speed limit and on the wrong side of a carriageway in North London.
The Metropolitan Police has now released footage of the police chase, which shows officers following the vehicle through the streets of London as the car travels at dangerous speeds, zooming past traffic as well as on the wrong side of various roads.
The police managed to bring the car to a stop by driving up against the vehicle in a tactical move.
The force confirmed a driver had been arrested, and drugs, cash and phones were also seized. A spokesperson for the police said decisive police action is helping to remove drugs and dangerous drivers from London's streets.
The man has now avoided jail, though, after admitting to dangerous driving and possessing cannabis with intent to supply as well.
Barish Goksan, 32 years old, was arrested on August 16, 2024, following a pursuit through North London.
Officers found cannabis, cash and multiple phones in his car and at his address. He pleaded guilty at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court.
Goksan was given a four-month prison sentence suspended for 24 months at Wood Green Crown Court for both offences on the 5th of November 2024. The Met Police have now released the footage of the chase.
