Just before 3pm, Wednesday 30 March, officers were travelling along Rope Walk, Lincoln, when they spotted a blue Audi A4.
They believed the vehicle to be stolen. They indicated for the vehicle to stop but it failed to do so and made off, travelling the wrong way around the roundabout by University Bridge.
The blue Audi travelled along Brayford Way over University Bridge and was driven up Yarborough Road. It was later seen on Newland just before 3.10pm.
We found the vehicle abandoned in an alleyway on Charles Street West shortly afterwards. The driver had left the vehicle and ran off.
We know the vehicle collided with at least 2 other vehicles as it failed to stop for police.
Our inquiries are ongoing and we are appealing for anyone who may have captured the incident on their dashcam or other video recording device to contact us. We would also like to hear from anyone who witnessed the incident and may have information that will help our investigation.

Almost two months on from Network Rail stating it had implemented “new cleaning regimes” for its railway bridge on Brayford Wharf East, the same concerns of graffiti, dirt and moss growth are continuing — and we are no clearer on how regularly the bridge is cleaned.
The bridge, which opened in 2019 in a bid to improve public safety on the railway crossing, is regularly used by many commuters and residents in Lincoln, but it has been the topic of a cleanliness discussion for many months now.
A City of Lincoln Councillor was forced to apologise for disregarding parents and the disabled during a debate on the Central Car Park last night.
Councillors were discussing a Conservative motion calling for a full review of the city centre facility amid a £150,000 spend on repairs to its lifts, alongside multiple complaints about parking machines being down and, recently, queues to exit following Remembrance Day and other events.
