Police officers abandoned the chase out of safety concerns. The last sighting of the car, which was using a false registration, was on the M77 at J2 near Silverburn. Officers are reviewing CCTV footage for any additional information on the occupants of the car. Detective Inspector Steven Watson said: “I am appealing to motorists and taxi drivers for any further information on the car and its occupants, in particular those with dash cams, I would ask you to check your images as you may have captured footage which could prove to be important in our enquiries. "If you have any information on this incident or the vehicle, please do get in touch.”
