Providenciales, TCI, September 16, 2016 – Detectives are searching for the driver of a brown Nissan March Car with no registration plate that led police on a high-speed chase last night on Providenciales.
Around 10:37 PM (Thursday 16th September 2016) a complainant contacted 911 and stated that Shots were fired at Security Officers posted at the Leeward Gates by someone in the said vehicle.

Before fleeing the scene the driver exchanged shots with officers before making good his escape in the thick bushes nearby. No one was injured during the incident.
