TWO police officers are recovering in hospital after a suspect crashed a stolen vehicle into a police cruiser while attempting to evade arrest.
The drama unfolded around 1.30pm Tuesday.
According to police, officers from the Western Division were conducting an operation in the area of Blake Road, when they spotted three men in a Mazda car that was reported stolen during a recent armed robbery.
The officers ordered the men to stop the vehicle, but they refused and sped off.
A chase followed throughout the western area of New Providence and the officers sent out an all points bulletin (APB) for the vehicle. They were joined by several other police units.
A short while later the suspects crashed into a police unit on Spikenard Road, where they were arrested and taken into custody.
Two of the officers and one of the suspects were injured during the crash and are detained in hospital in stable condition.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 911 or 919, the Central Detective Unit at 502-9991 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 328-TIPS.

I hope that the suspects were injured after the accident as well. What they did is unacceptable and they should be severely beaten and then punished.
We may need to get that Filipino president over here to deal with our crime problem once he's finished with their drug problem.
Who in their right mind wants criminals in society? No one!!! So... get rid of them! AND get rid of any government that does such a lousy job whereby people are almost forced to become criminals!!!!
