I never thought I'd see the words high speed followed by the word minivan.

I watched it live on the news today. Here is an edited highlights video of the raw helicopter feed.

The whole chase lasted about an hour, so the part with the MINI didn't make it in their cut here.

What was so valuable about the minivan that they stole it? The MINI should have rammed it off the road. :P Maybe get a medal for it.
