Appeal after woman threatened and then chased by dangerously driven car in Chesterfield - as man and woman arrested
Police are appealing for anyone who was in the area and witnessed the incident to come forward.
Officers investigating an incident where a woman was threatened, and then her car chased by a dangerously driven car, are appealing for witnesses and footage to help their investigation.
The incident occurred on November 11 at around 8pm in Arundel Close, Chesterfield, where the victim, a woman in her 20s who was a passenger in a red Citroen C1, was threatened by the driver and passenger of a red Citroen DS3.
The victim’s vehicle left Arundel Close pursued by the DS3 along Racecourse Road, onto Coniston Road, and then onto Rydal Crescent where the victim’s car was forced to stop and turned around.
The cars then travelled back along Rydal Crescent, onto Coniston Road, Racecourse Road, before turning right onto St John’s Road. They drove along Littlemoor, before turning left onto Newbold Road.
Close to the Tesco petrol station, the victim spotted a parked police car and stopped – with the offending car driven off at speed along Newbold Road, before turning into Newbold Drive.
Along the route the DS3 has driven dangerously – overtaking the victim’s car and driving into oncoming traffic.
A 22-year-old woman, from Chesterfield, and a 33-year-old man, from Sheffield, have been arrested in connection with the incident and remain in police custody at this time.
All those involved in the incident are understood to be known to one another – and there is no wider risk to the public following this incident.
Police are appealing for anyone who was in the area between 8pm and 8.15pm and witnessed the incident to come forward.
In particular they want to hear from anyone who saw two red Citroen cars in the area and may have dashcam footage that captured the incident.
