A Range Rover stolen from Colwick was dramatically stopped by police after a high‑speed chase across Nottingham.
The luxury 4×4 was taken during a break‑in at a home in Colwick in the early hours of Sunday (5). Officers quickly picked up its signal as it headed towards Clifton, with the Road Crime Team moving in to intercept.
Rather than pulling over, the driver sped off — triggering a brief pursuit through residential streets. The chase ended moments later when the vehicle lost control and was dumped in Maypole.
With the help of a police dog, officers tracked two suspects hiding in a garden in Greencroft.
Two boys, aged 16 and 15, were arrested on suspicion of robbery, burglary, aggravated vehicle taking, dangerous driving and theft.
Detective Inspector Jamie Moore, head of roads policing at Nottinghamshire Police, said the swift interception was down to specialist teamwork.
“The Road Crime Team are experts in detecting and stopping stolen vehicles,” he said. “Working closely with colleagues in the control room, they were able to locate this car, pursue it and make sure those responsible didn’t get away.”
