A driver was arrested yesterday after leading officers on a high-speed pursuit through Chesterfield – only to crash his vehicle.

On Sunday, January 22, a stolen van was spotted by Derbyshire Armed Response Unit officers in Chesterfield.

In a tweet, a Derbyshire Roads Policing spokesperson said: “Driver of this stolen van thinks he can roll through Chesterfield unseen. Spotted by DARU and pursued alongside ourselves over some very icy roads.”
