The striking picture was published this morning by Police Scotland's Air Unit after a man was taken into custody in connection with a number of offences yesterday.
An image from a police helicopter captured the arrest of a man it's claimed took officers on a chase across Lanarkshire.
The image taken aboard the chopper shows what appears to be officers surrounding a suspect, after it is believed he went on to abandon a Ford Transit van then take off on foot. The drama unfolded yesterday when it is understood that officers attempted to stop the vehicle in the Glasgow Road area of Wishaw around 10am.
However, it is claimed the driver fled the scene instead, leading traffic police on a chase all the way to East Kilbride, with the helicopter following overhead.Posting on X this morning, Police Scotland Air Unit said: "Yesterday with a lengthy vehicle pursuit from Wishaw to East Kilbride. The driver was successfully detained after an abandon and a short foot chase. A great piece of coordination between the crew and ground personnel.
A man has been charged in connection with a number of offences and is due to appear at Hamilton Sheriff Court tomorrow.
