A 30-year-old man has been arrested after the pursuit which started in Mansfield
A police chase that started when police spotted a van in Mansfield ended 30 minutes later with a man was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving. Police trailed the van from 11.30pm on Sunday going towards Derbyshire and then heading through villages in Bassetlaw.
The van then joined the B6034 Ollerton Road towards Worksop, before heading to the Carburton junction. At this point police stopped the vehicle and the driver - a 30-year-old man - was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and for failing to stop. The man was also made to complete a roadside breathalyser test and he was then arrested on suspicion of drink-driving.
Sergeant Steve Waft, of Nottinghamshire Police’s Roads Policing Unit, said: “This arrest was made following a lengthy pursuit on country roads that moved from inside, to outside, to back into Nottinghamshire. Our specialist Roads Policing Unit officers were tailing the vehicle every second of the way, and helped ensure it eventually came to a safe stop.
“Thankfully nobody came to any harm, but that was in large part down to the skills, patience and decision making shown by the officers in pursuit."
