A 20-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle, driving whilst disqualified, failing to stop, and driving without insurance.

He has since been released on bail.

Sergeant Matt Reddington, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “The suspect in this was clearly keen to get away but stood little chance of that after attracting the combined attentions of a police drone pilot, dog handler and other highly trained officers.

“Confronted by Police Dog Seth, he was certainly wise to stop running and give himself up.

“All in all, this was a great team effort by everyone involved, including our control room dispatcher who did a great job of coordinating the officers involved.”
