It was abandoned a short time later after driving into the Newstead Abbey estate.

A 15-year-old boy was arrested a short time later on suspicion of dangerous driving, failing to stop, theft of a motor vehicle, driving without a licence, and driving without insurance.

An 18-year-old woman was also arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle.

Both were later released on bail.

“Driving in this way is extremely dangerous and will always generate a very strong police response.”
