Man arrested after officer injured in Devizes - urgent appeal to locate vehicle involved

We are urgently appealing for help locating a vehicle which was involved in a police officer being injured at the weekend. 

The vehicle, a white Dacia Jogger Expression registration WU73MXL, was spotted in a field by a police officer at approximately 11.30pm on Saturday (1/6) in Conscience Lane.

The officer stopped his vehicle and exited in an attempt to speak to the occupants. At this point, the vehicle driver failed to engage with the officer and proceeded to leave the location, intentionally colliding with the officer.

As a result, the officer sustained injuries and further to hospital treatment has been discharged and will now continue his recovery at home.  

Officers have been carrying out extensive enquiries and have now arrested a man in his 30s from Twerton in Bath, on suspicion of attempted murder.

We are keen to locate the Dacia we believe to have been involved and are urging members of the public with information to get in touch.

We believe the vehicle may be in the area west of Bath.

If you can help in any way with finding the vehicle or if you know anything about what happened, please call 101 and quote log number 383 of June 1.
