Police plane deployed as officers flood Doncaster housing estate in manhunt

South Yorkshire Police’s plane and helicopter were also deployed as officers swooped in the Lonsdale Avenue area of Intake in a bid to track down a man wanted in connection with a road traffic collision in Doncaster.

Officers searched local gardens in the street as well as nearby Wiltshire Road and Abercorn Road at around 8pm last night.

Several pictures of the incident show numerous police vehicles at the scene and officers carrying out searches in residents gardens.

A South Yorkshire Police spokesman said the blitz had unfortunately proved fruitless.

A spokesman said: “Resources were deployed to Lonsdale Avenue at 8pm last night as part of enquiries to locate an individual wanted by officers. Area searches proved negative and no arrests were made.”
