Police Seize Snowboarders Over Car Stunt

This is the moment snowboarders on city streets being towed by car speed past police officers who just can’t believe their ice.

The pair had been filming themselves being dragged through the snowy streets at night. In Jitiqara, Kostanay Region, Kazakhstan.

Footage from the stunt shows the pair holding onto water-ski tow ropes lashed to the rear of the car.

But as they get up to speed they fail to notice a police patrol car parked beside the street which immediately puts on its lights and sirens and gives chase.

A second clip shows officers escorting the snowboarders and their driver into a police station for questioning.

Kazakhstan Police said in a statement obtained by Newsflash on 30th January. “The police brought Zhitikarin residents to justice for reckless extreme behaviour.

“The snowboarders and the driver were brought to justice for gross violation of traffic rules.
