Police Targeted in Shocking Bicester Chase as Car Rams Officers
VW Golf and Seat Altera Convoy Sparks Dangerous Pursuit
Police in Bicester are hunting suspects after a terrifying incident on Friday afternoon (7/1) where officers were deliberately targeted by a vehicle. At around 4.30pm, officers tried to stop two cars driving in tandem on Graven Hill Road: a stolen dark blue VW Golf R and a bluey-silver Seat Altera.
The VW had its hazards flashing and was being pushed from behind by the Seat – a bizarre and dangerous sight that soon turned violent.
Seat Rams Officers, Flees Running Red Lights
As the drama unfolded, two suspects fled the VW. One jumped into the Seat (registration DY05ORJ), which then charged straight at two police officers. Thankfully, both cops leapt out of the way just in time to avoid injury.
The Seat then tore through multiple red lights along the A41, racing towards Aylesbury in a reckless escape attempt.

The other suspect ran off on foot toward the Graven Hill Estate, heading specifically for Westacott Road and Roberts Drive.
