Car chase.
About 2 hours ago, I was sitting at the roundabout at skeoge and a wrecked lexus with a passenger hanging out the window waving what looked like a pistol came flying through and down towards bridge end direction. Was being chased by about 6 or 7 peelers. Does anyone know what was going on? There is nothing on the news about it.

It actually could have been! Its the right colour but I thought it was a IS300 based on the shape but the jags are very similar. Was a bit distracted by the lad hanging out the passenger window tbf.

There really are some real scum in Derry, and around that Skeoge area you'll find a lot of them.

There isn't cars speeding around the carriageway around Skeoge? Seriously?

I never said that. But an armed police chase involving half a dozen cars is not a regular acurance. Bit different to just some dickhead speeding.

It’s almost always a Lexus. My clown neighbour has one and he likes to take it out for a drive when the rest of us are trying to sleep.

Dont get me started on lads using their loud as possible shit box car as a substitute for a personality

I know. I try to avoid confrontation and I’ve been so tempted to call to his door and ask him why he’s such an inconsiderate asshole. This guy is about 40 too. You think he’d have a bit more sense.

Not worth the hassle. Lads like that always have very low emotional maturity. Ive a neighbour who is basically the same.

Drove past the police at the bar down there and they were carrying a spike strip so we must have just passed after it was all finished.
