Four people were arrested this afternoon after a police car chase in Stone. Staffordshire Police sent us this information this afternoon:
At around 2.10pm today, Thursday 19 December, officers on routine patrol in Stone attempted to stop a orange Nissan Almera on the A34 but the vehicle failed to stop.
A short pursuit of the vehicle followed which resulted in the vehicle being abandoned near the golf course next to the Wayfayer pub and the driver ran off. A member of the public detained the driver, a 17-year-old male from Birmingham, who was then arrested when officers arrived.
A second vehicle, a silver Nissan Micra, which is believed to be linked to the first car, was also stopped and three men, two aged 17 and one aged 26, all from Birmingham were arrested.
The arrests follow a suspicious incident in Whitemill Lane reported at around 11am when two men were seen acting suspiciously near a parked vehicle. It is believed that this incident is connected to the arrested men.
Witnesses to the pursuit, or any suspicious activity in the Whitemill Lane area today, are asked to contact Staffordshire Police on 101, quoting incident number 382 of December 19. Alternatively, they can contact independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
