Shot fired in chase

POLICE in Marbella have arrested a French fugitive wanted for murder and drug trafficking after a high-speed chase in which shots were fired.
A Local Police patrol in the Nueva Andalucia area had approached three occupants of a BMW in calle Los Jazmines to ask for documentation. Just as they arrived the driver put his foot down and shot away.
A pursuit started and at the Las Petunias roundabout in San Pedro Alcantara the BMW was forced to stop.
A plainclothes patrol in Colonia de El Angel, which had followed the operation by radio, then saw a Mercedes travelling at high speed. Suspecting it could be the same men who had changed cars they blocked the road with their own vehicle.
But the driver of the Mercedes, who was alone, rammed their car instead and only stopped when a warning shot was fired.
