Man, woman released on bail after ramming incident
A car stolen from Cootehill on Tuesday rammed PSNI patrol car
A MAN and woman arrested after a police car was rammed in Enniskillen by a car stolen from Cavan have been released from custody on bail.
The pair were arrested after a silver Ford Fiesta car stolen from Cootehill at around 10pm on Tuesday rammed a PSNI vehicle on the Cornagrade Road in Enniskillen a short time later at 1am on Wednesday, 17 December.
Two other people ran from the car.
The two arrested are a woman and man in their 20s while two others managed to run from the car and escape police officers.
One of the two people arrested is understood to be a male from the Cavan Town area. He is known to gardaí and has previously spent time in prison in connection with a violent crime.
The silver Ford Fiesta had been stolen hours earlier, shortly after 10pm (Tuesday, December 16) from Market Street in Cootehill.
In a statement to the Celt the PSNI said: "A 22-year-old woman and 25-year-old man, arrested earlier today after a police vehicle was rammed by a stolen car in Enniskillen, have been released on bail pending further enquiries."
An officer in the patrol car suffered neck and back injuries in the impact but remained on duty.
"Checks with colleagues in An Garda Síochána revealed the Fiesta had been stolen in County Cavan earlier the previous evening,” said the PSNI in an earlier statement adding that the pair who ran from the stolen car are still being sought by police.
The male is described as in his 20s, approximately 6' tall and wearing dark clothing with what is believed to either be a white hood or a white marking on the hood. The female suspect also appeared to be in her 20s with blonde hair and was wearing a black coat and blue jeans.
