POLICE are investigating video footage of a car being driven at high speed through a town centre in Co Antrim.
The footage, which was posted on social media, was last night described as "extremely dangerous racing" by a local MLA.
It shows a silver BMW driving through the streets of Ballyclare, veering from side to side, which is known as drifting. It involved the driver intentionally over-steering the vehicle in order to achieve a drift state.
The video appears to have been filmed by a passenger in another car travelling in front of the BMW and also being driven at high speed.
