As London bakes under a sun that has never been seen before in a season never encountered
before, the cat-and-mouse game of capital-lawlessness continues.

Buckingham Palace moped carnage: Police car hits a lamppost and lands on its roof
while chasing two men on a motorbike through central London at 4.30am.

'These shocking images show the damage left after a police car crashed and rolled over
following the chase of a moped near Buckingham Palace. In the early hours of Saturday
morning officers were in pursuit of the vehicle with two riders in Grosvenor Place, London.



Then suddenly the moped became involved in a collision with a second marked police car
travelling in the opposite direction.

One of the riders, a 17-year-old man, was taken to hospital with suspected broken legs
and arrested. 
Police are still searching for the other driver who managed to flee the scene. 



Both officers were left bruised and dazed but with no serious injuries.   
The motorist driving the police car was an experienced driver from Kensington & Chelsea
force. Another police car was also involved. The road remains closed while crime officers
examine the scene.

A Met spokesperson said: 'At approximately 04:30hrs on Saturday 4 August officers spotted
a moped with two individuals on Hyde Park Corner.  'The vehicle, rider and pillion passenger
matched the description of a moped believed to have been involved in a series of offences. 

'A marked police car followed the moped and a short time later, in Grosvenor Place, at the
junction with Chapel Street, the moped became involved in a collision with a second marked
police car travelling in the opposite direction. 

'A male aged 17, was injured in the collision and has been taken to hospital with serious leg
injuries. 'He has since been arrested on suspicion of a number of motoring offences. 
'The second person fled the scene of the collision. Efforts to trace him are ongoing. 

'The police car involved in the collision overturned. No officers were seriously injured as a result
of this incident and did not require medical treatment.  'The Met's Directorate of Professional
Standards has been informed as a matter of course and a referral has been made to the IOPC.'...'

their vitally-needed drugs to their customers. Britain should be proud.
