Three Arrested in Stolen Vehicle


Stolen vehicle tracked, pursued and recovered in Doncaster as officers make three arrests.

A stolen vehicle which was being driven around with cloned license plates has been safely recovered after being tracked and pursued by officers in Doncaster.

Officers were alerted to the stolen red Peugeot which was later sighted and asked to pull over. When the driver of the vehicle refused, a short pursuit commenced before officers deployed a stinger to bring the car to a stop on the A18.

Three people were arrested by officers and brought into custody, with a check of the vehicle confirming it as the same vehicle that had been stolen from a home in Bessacarr earlier this month.

Doncaster East Neighbourhood Policing Team Inspector Alison Carr said: "This was a great example of more cross-border partnership working with our colleagues at Humberside Police who helped us to track the vehicle and safely bring it to a stop.

"We recognise and see first-hand the devastating impact of burglaries on victims. No one deserves to have their home broken into and their prized possessions stolen and we are pleased that we have been able to locate this stolen vehicle and reunite it with its rightful owner."
