HEIGHTS — A high-speed police chase of a silver BMW was terminated about 2:30 a.m. May 29 on Pierson Street in the interest of public safety.
Police officers on stationary patrol near Warren Avenue and Garling Drive saw a silver two-door BMW driving west on Warren Avenue at a high rate of speed. The police officers activated their vehicle lights and siren to initiate a traffic stop, but the driver, an Arabic male with long, curly hair, made a U-turn, then accelerated while driving east on Warren Avenue, then north on Pierson Street in an attempt to elude the police officers.
A partial license plate number, which appeared to be part of a vanity plate, was observed, but the closest match was for a Lexus and not a BMW, and the driver did not match the description of the vehicle owner.
