Officers hurt in road collision

Police are appealing for information after a police landrover was struck by a stolen jeep in Dunmurry on Sunday.

Three police officers were injured in the collision which occurred on the Bell Steele Road at around 2.15pm.

The Grand Cherokee jeep, which had been stolen from a house in Lambeg earlier that morning, was travelling up the wrong side of the Bell Steele Road when it struck the landrover.

The vehicle then continued on up the road, before its two occupants abandoned the vehicle shortly before it ended up in a ditch close to the nearby Stewartstown Road.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at Lisburn on 028 9266 5212.
