According to the police, officers from the Enforcement and Control Section of the Transport Department of the East Kowloon Region were patrolling North Jordan Valley Road in Ngau Tau Kok at about 11:30 pm yesterday (6th) when they found a private car to turn around illegally on the double white line and stepped forward. It was intercepted and searched, but the private car failed to stop as instructed and drove away from the scene.
The officers then stepped forward to chase, and finally stopped the private car at Lian'an Street in Sau Mau Ping.
