It’s understood that the policemen took the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V111 for a spin while waiting for the vehicle recovery truck to arrive. The pair had earlier arrested the driver of the bright yellow sports car on suspicion of drink driving after witnessing the vehicle being driven in an erratic manner.
The suspect was taken away by traffic officers while the two policemen waited for recovery vehicle to collect the luxurious car.
The high powered sports car, which is capable of reaching speeds of up to 175 mph and achieves 0-60mph in just 4.8 seconds, was found upturned in the garden of a luxury home in Hale, Greater Manchester with the two police officers inside.
The car had smashed through two gardens and has reportedly been written off. The two police officers were said to be shaken following the accident, but had only sustained minor injuries.
GMP’s Professional Standard Unit is carrying out an investigation into the incident. Enquiries will centre on whether or not the two police officers were authorised to move the yellow sports car.
The 23-year-old driver of the Mitsubishi remains in custody.
