220mphcar thieves leave cops standing
High-speed car thieves drove 28 miles in just over seven minutes in a 220mph getaway from police.
The gang stole three tuned-up motors in a hollywood style heist by smashing a stolen van through steel gates. Then they roared off in a 650bhp nissan skyline, a customies nissan pulsar and a speedy mazda rx-7. The crooks hit the GTR skyline's top speed of 220mph as they fled from gloucester to bristol, covering 28 miles of the m5 motorway in less that 8 minutes. The hooded raiders haul of japanese imports, worth a total of £27,000 were nicked from Mercury valeting services, in gloucester.
Boss Tony church, 41, said this was clearly planned, In minutes, the thieves had hot wired the engines and raced off in different directions. Police chased the skyline but it gave them the slip.
A spokesman for gloucestershire police said. The vehicles went in different directions. The skyline was later found and the mazda was found dumped.
The nissan pulsar is still missing. So if you see a working pulsar going for pennies make sure they have the log book.
