A 45-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of the theft of a motor vehicle and dangerous driving
Dramatic bodycam footage has revealed the moment a 'prolific burglar' was chased across a farmer's field after abandoning a Range Rover he had stolen.
Officers from the Tactical Vehicle Intercept Unit later found the car, which had been abandoned with no sign of the suspect. A short while later, police travelling down Ross Lave Lane spotted the suspect fleeing the scene towards a set of trees. An on-foot chase ensued through a nearby farmer's field before he was pounced on.
PC Oliver Rose from TVIU said: “This job is a good example of cross-collaboration between a number of departments in Specialist Operations including the Dog Unit. From the call coming in we responded to the incident in minutes, getting to the scene and locating the vehicle in question.
