Detective Sergeant Nathan Bingham, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:

“We’ve been on the lookout for this car for a while and were very quickly able to call on additional resources one we did.

“Thanks to the presence in the area of a police helicopter we had the ability to follow this vehicle over a long distance, but in the end were able to bring this vehicle to a swift and compliant stop.”
