Moment Fiat 500 with boot hanging open does DONUTS on grass & speeds backwards as 60 masked youths spark daylight chaos
THIS is the moment a battered Fiat 500 races BACKWARDS up a street and does donuts on a patch of grass after broad daylight chaos erupted. Up to 60 yobs - many wearing balaclavas - sparked carnage on the streets in Salford, Greater Manchester, yesterday afternoon. 6 A Fiat 500 raced through the streets of Salford today Credit: Jam Press/@CrimeLdn 6 A gang of masked youths watched on as the car began doing donuts on lawns Credit: Jam Press/@CrimeLdn 6 The car was being pursued by a mysterious black vehicle Credit: Jam Press/@CrimeLdn Riot cops were called in to tackle the chaos, which saw a police car's windscreen smashed in and hooded yobs on bikes taking to the streets. Four arrests have been made following the disorder, including a 16-year-old girl who has been charged with assaulting a police officer. She has been released on bail and is due to appear in court at a later date. Shocking footage shows a white Fiat 500 speeding down the road with its boot door wide open. In the video, the car - which had a missing bumper and an open boot - can be seen reversing down the road. After pacing up and down the street, the vehicle sped onto the pavement and began doing donuts on a local lawn. The Fiat was driven by a group of masked youths, who can be seen dangling out of the car's windows. Meanwhile, a black car tried to pass through the chaos but was forced to repeatedly stop due to the Fiat's erratic driving. Bins had also been laid out across the road, making it even more difficult for vehicles to pass. In a separate video, several youths can be seen stalking the street on motorbikes and hanging from another black vehicle. The yobs also set fire to a vehicle and smashed the windscreen of one of a cop car. Riot erupts in UK city as '60 masked youths' set fire to car & 'assault cop' GMP Superintendent Marcus Noden said: 'This sort of behaviour will not be tolerated and we took robust and appropriate action. 'In response to this disorder we have dispatched a large number of officers to the scene, and we now have a dispersal order in place until 2pm tomorrow afternoon (Thursday 12 June 2025). "A large number of officers will be remaining in the area over night as a precaution. 'We are aware of speculation online that this incident is linked to immigration, this is categorically incorrect. 'There are currently no ongoing incidents in the area, however, tensions remain heightened, and we have robust plans in place, should we need to respond to any further incidents. "I would also like to thank members of the public for their patience and support while we continue to deal with this incident.' The GMP confirmed that one girl had been arrested for assaulting a police officer, as several hooded figures through bricks at officers. 6 The Fiat 100 was heavily damaged, with its boot hanging open and its front number plate missing Credit: Jam Press/@CrimeLdn 6 The rioters set one car ablaze Credit: MEN Media

Couple steal back their own car after cops ‘refused to investigate theft'… despite AirTag pinpointing its exact location
The couple equipped their stolen vehicle with an essential gadget GRAND THEFT AUTO Couple steal back their own car after cops 'refused to investigate theft'… despite AirTag pinpointing its exact location A COUPLE whose Jaguar was swiped by thieves have stolen it back after cops failed to investigate the theft. Mia Forbes Pirie and Mark Simpson discovered their motor was missing from its spot close to their home in Brook Green, West London on Wednesday morning. However, the shrewd pair had installed an airtag locator in the vehicle which had been taken to Chiswick shortly after. The couple called 999 but cops told them that they were unable to offer immediate assistance. Unwilling to sit idly, Mia and Mark took matters into their own hands. Mr Simpson, 62, reported being nervous as he made the four-mile journey with his wife to the car's new location. The Jaguar E-Pace - a model that sold for about £46,000 new in 2024 - also had a 'ghost immobiliser' fitted which required the right buttons to be hit on the car's control unit before it could start. The couple found the vehicle on a quiet back street with its carpets ripped apart after thugs attempted to access its wiring. Forbes Pirie, a former solicitor and now an award-winning mediator, and Mr Simpson, a commercial barrister, had installed a series of additional security mechanisms on the car after previously experiencing the theft of a vehicle. Neighbours later reported they had heard unusual noises at night. Mia wrote in LinkedIn post: "[Is] it right that the police seem to have no interest in investigating what is likely to have been a reasonably sophisticated operation involving a flat bed truck… if there are no consequences, what is the incentive for people not to do more of this?" However, she lamented the Met Police's lack of investment. Three people arrested after teen boy dies near pub as cops launch murder probe "The police are under-resourced and it's a shame," she told The Times. "But if there aren't any consequences to people stealing cars or a lot of the other crimes where there aren't any consequences, then I don't really see what the deterrent is to stop people from doing it more." In a statement, Met Police told The Sun: "On Tuesday, 3 June at 10.06am, police were alerted to the theft of a vehicle on Sterndale Road, W14. "Officers spoke to the victim, who shared his intention to recover the vehicle himself. "An Apple Airtag was inside, allowing the victim to view its location and trace it. "The victim was reminded by officers to contact police again as needed or if police assistance was necessary at the vehicle's location. "At 11.23am the victim confirmed with police that he had found the vehicle and that it was being recovered by a truck back to the victim's home address. "This investigation is ongoing and police are working with the victim. No arrests have been made at this stage." It comes after one man who has had his £114k Range Rover stolen four times revealed he always gets it back thanks to an essential gadget. Tom Jaconelli, 39, was left infuriated after his posh 150mph SUV was taken from outside his house yet again. Doorbell footage showed the director of car dealership Romans International, having his 2024 Range Rover Sport P550e snatched just metres from his front door. But savvy Tom had fitted his motor with a tracking system which enabled him to get his vehicle back. He said the car was retrieved when three police dog vans stopped the thief in his tracks. Thankfully for Tom, the motor was found 15 minutes away from Tom's home in Cobham, Surrey. Do you have a similar story? Email
