Transcript
00:00A high-speed police pursuit through London 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.
00:18The 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 on the wrong side of various roads.
00:37The 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.
00:53A spokesperson for the police said decisive police action is helping to remove drugs and dangerous drivers from London's streets.
01:04The man has now avoided jail though after admitting to dangerous driving and possessing cannabis with intent to supply as well.
01:14Barish Goksan, who is 32 years old, was arrested on the 16th of August 2024 after that pursuit through North London.
01:22Officers found cannabis, cash and multiple phones in his car and at his address.
01:29He pleaded guilty at Highbury Corner Magistrates Court.
01:36Goksan 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.
01:49The Met Police have now released the footage of the chase.
01:52But when it comes to dangerous driving, is it an issue worsening in the capital?
01:58Well, this summer, the Met Police have confirmed that millions of pounds worth of luxury vehicles have been seized in the capital by the Metropolitan Police to curb dangerous driving in central London.
02:13Police seized 72 vehicles worth an estimated £6 million, including identical purple Lamborghinis in a three day operation across Hyde Park, Kensington and Chelsea.
02:28Drivers were issued with tickets for a variety of motoring offences, including driving with no insurance, no driving licence and disqualifications as well.
02:39False documentations were also provided and fraudulent number plates too.
02:44Officers also recovered several stolen vehicles and made eight arrests for a range of offences, including a man who was wanted for actual bodily harm and criminal damage.
