Police say witnesses told them their vehicle was almost hit by a car, after which they watched the suspect car pull over with two men switching positions and continue driving at about 9 pm Wednesday.

Officers found the suspect car, which had pulled into a parking lot off of Broadway in Bangor.

They say they interviewed the men, 27-year-old Manoach Bizumuremyi and 28-year-old Muhoza Bizumuremyi, and both admitted they had been driving the car, admitted to swapping drivers, and both admitted they shouldn’t have been driving the car.
