Watch the moment police make arrest after high-speed chase in Rotherham
Police bodycam footage captured officers arresting a man after a high-speed police chase in Rotherham.
On Saturday, April 12, officers pursued a vehicle which was being driven dangerously. The driver behind the wheel had ignored calls to pull over.
The Volkswagen Coupe travelled at speed through the streets before crashing into a wall in Maltby. The driver then fled.
Officers who’d been following the vehicle chased the driver on foot as he attempted to escape.
A 44-year-old man was arrested in a garden a short time later on suspicion of aggravated vehicle taking, dangerous driving, failing to stop, driving without insurance and driving in excess of drugs.
He has been bailed pending further enquiries.
A South Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “Quick work by officers in Rotherham, who pursued a vehicle which failed to stop for police, has to led a man being arrested.
“Officers carefully pursued the vehicle throughout and when the driver attempted to flee, officers chased after him.”
