Drone helps police track occupants who fled M1 car crash
Police in Derbyshire said they had a “busy night on the borders” with incidents including a search for occupants who fled a crash on the M1 and a badger shooting.
Derbyshire Police’s rural crime team posted on Facebook yesterday, Sunday, March 13, shortly after 2am, telling of multiple incidents officers had attended overnight, including a rave and shot badger.
They said, after a quick stop for food, it was ‘off to Pinxton following an RTC on the M1 whereby the occupants had legged it’.
