A motorist being pursued by a police patrol, stopped three times and reversed into the police car, eventually disabling it.

The incident happened on Friday, February 5, at around 11.40am after a blue Ford Kuga with one occupant failed to stop for a patrol in Stonehouse Lane, Halstead, near Sevenoaks.

The Kuga zoomed off at speed into Church Road and Shoreham Lane, pursued by the patrol.

It then continued into Otford Lane before being abandoned on the A224 London Road near Halstead.

The driver left the Kuga on foot and made his way onto the hard shoulder of the M25, where he was collected by another vehicle.

PC Alex Peacock said: "We are appealing for witnesses who saw the Ford Kuga at any stage of the pursuit to contact us.

"This includes a woman with a pink top and cap who was jogging on Church Road near its junction with Shoreham Road, and who jumped out of the way as the vehicle passed her.

"In addition, motorists with dashcam who were in the area and residents with CCTV are asked to check for footage that may assist our investigation."

Anyone with information who has not yet spoken to the police should call 01622 604100, quoting reference 5-0511.
