Drug Dealer Busted After High-Speed Chase on M2
Police Chase Rocks M2 and Dartford Crossing
On the evening of Monday, 20 January 2025, officers spotted a suspicious Ford Mustang GT on the coastbound M2. The car looked uninsured. When police switched on their blue lights, the driver slammed the gas pedal instead of stopping. The Mustang peeled off at Junction 5, then ripped back onto the Londonbound side. The chase roared onto the A2 and finally the A282 Dartford Crossing before the car was forced to halt by pursuing officers.
Drugs and Cash Found in Vehicle Search
The driver was swiftly arrested at the scene. Police found a stash of suspected cocaine and approximately £135 in cash inside the car. The haul points to a serious drugs run.
Suspect Charged and Locked Up
The next day, 33-year-old Miran Mirlshari from South Tottenham was charged with possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, refusing to stop for police, plus three driving offences.
