Police are appealing to anyone who may have seen the blue Ford Focus

Police in Strabane are appealing for information about a car which rammed a police vehicle before it fled across the border into Donegal.

Two PSNI officers were injured in the incident which occurred in the Lifford Road area of Strabane on Saturday night.

The incident happened at about 10.10pm when police attempted to stop a suspected uninsured vehicle. The blue Ford Focus failed to stop and mounted a footpath before ramming the police vehicle and crossing the border.

The two injured officers were unable to continue their duties and the patrol vehicle sustained damage which rendered it unusable for the foreseeable future, the PSNI said.

Police are appealing to anyone who may have seen the blue Ford Focus in the area, or who may have any information or dash-cam footage that could assist with enquiries, to contact them via 101 quoting reference number 1858 of 28/01/23.

A report can also be made using the online reporting form via www.psni.police.uk/makeareport or by contacting Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.
