Officers were first alerted to the vehicle when intelligence highlighted it as having potential links to a series of outstanding alleged offences
Two suspects were reportedly found hiding in the woods following a pursuit in which a van allegedly swerved all over the road to try and evade police. .
Having spotted the suspect van in Forest Lane, at around 12.20pm on Friday, August 18, police followed it for a short while around the Papplewick area. After witnessing the driver make an alleged dangerous overtake, officers switched on their blue lights, which the van allegedly ignored, and instead pulled away.
A pursuit then began in which the van allegedly repeatedly broke the speed limit and carried out dangerous overtaking manoeuvres around blind bends, as it headed along the A617 towards Rainworth. After reportedly avoiding a police ‘stinger’, the vehicle headed towards the A6117, where it then drove into some fields off Lindhurst Lane, where the reportedly occupants got out and fled on foot into nearby Harlow Woods.
One of the men was also arrested on suspicion of driving without a licence and possession of cannabis. PC Daniel Whitham, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Thankfully this didn’t result in a collision or anybody sustaining any injuries but that was mainly down to luck, and the superior driving skills and awareness shown by the officers in pursuit who managed to follow behind at a safe distance.
