A suspected drink driver has been arrested after a dramatic pursuit in Plymouth overnight.
Officers pursued the suspect through parts of St Budeaux, with dozens of local units flocking to the area in an attempt to bring the car to a stop.
Skilled officers deployed a stinger, a type of device used by police to puncture the tyres of a fleeing vehicle, forcing it to slow down.
A nearby bus blocked alternative routes, forcing the car to drive straight through the stinger.
These efforts were successful and the car was eventually brought safely to a stop by police on Fletemoor Road.
Police arrested a 28-year-old man on suspicion of drink driving.
A spokesperson for Devon and Cornwall Police told Plymouth Plus:
"Police attended the St Budeaux area of Plymouth yesterday evening following information that a man was driving while believed to be under the influence of alcohol.
"Local units located the vehicle and deployed a stinger device to attempt to stop the car.
"The vehicle eventually came to a stop on Fletemoor Road and a 28-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of drink driving."
