A large amount of cash was recovered and two men were arrested after a high-speed police chase.
Officers attempted to stop a car near Sherwood Lodge shortly before 11.10pm last night (Monday 5 October) and began a pursuit when it failed to stop.
It was then driven at high speed along the A60 towards Mansfield, allegedly passing through red lights and travelling along the wrong side of the road.
The pursuit was brought to a close a short time later when a stinger device was used to puncture the vehicle’s tyres at the junction of Nottingham Road and Baums Lane.
A large amount of cash was found in the vehicle and two men were detained.
A 23-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, failing to stop, theft of a motor vehicle, drug driving, possession of criminal property and domestic assault.
A 26-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle and possession of criminal property. Both remain in police custody.
PC Stuart Howe, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Reckless and dangerous driving places people’s lives at risk and simply will not be tolerated on our roads. I would like to pay tribute to the professionalism and teamwork of the various officers who brought this pursuit to a successful and safe conclusion.”
