Police deploy Batman-style grappling hook from patrol car to snare speeding motorist

Dramatic footage shows police bringing a car chase to a stop using a Batman-style vehicle-mounted grappling hook. Splendora Police Department released footage of the pursuit after a driver caught travelling 90mph in a 65mph zone failed to stop for officers. Police deployed their newly implemented ‘Grappler’ bumper system, which entangles rear tyres in a high-strength net, bringing the suspect vehicle to a controlled stop. “The driver is facing multiple criminal charges, including Felony Evading Arrest or Detention with a Motor Vehicle, along with additional related offenses,” Splendora Police confirmed in a statement.
