Arrest after dog unit and Roads Police pursue alleged dangerous driver

Two men were arrested after officers pursued a car in Mansfield.

The Range Rover was spotted in the Mansfield area shortly after 4pm on Saturday.

Information was passed to a member of the Road Crime Team who was patrolling the area in an unmarked car.

At about 4.45pm the vehicle – believed to be travelling on cloned plates – was spotted in Abbott Road and followed along Brick Kiln Lane.

The vehicle then led the officers on a pursuit around the Ladybrook area before being abandoned at the end of Winkburn Road.
