Gun drawn and window smashed as Hong Kong police arrest two men in high-speed car chase
Meat cleaver and HK$3,000 in illegal drugs found in Volkswagen Golf that ran roadblock
A high-speed car chase in Hong Kong on Wednesday saw one police officer drawing a gun and another smashing the window of a Volkswagen Golf with a baton before arresting two suspected triad members, the driver and a passenger, in the vehicle.
A police search was ongoing for another two passengers, a man and a woman, who managed to exit the white vehicle and escape during the predawn pursuit.
Illegal drugs with an estimated street value of nearly HK$3,000 (US$383) were found in the car and seized, along with a meat cleaver.
The early morning chase began when the Volkswagen sped through a police roadblock on Prince Edward Road near Shek Ku Lung Road Playground in San Po Kong soon after 3am. The roadblock was part of an anti-drink-driving operation in the Kowloon East region.
With police in pursuit, the Volkswagen turned onto Choi Hung Road and then Po Kong Village Road, where it made a U-turn and then drove back onto Choi Hung Road.
