Two men arrested and stolen car found after Daybrook police chase

Two men have been arrested after a stolen car was recovered by police after a chase by car and on foot that began in Daybrook.

Officers began following the vehicle after it passed through a red light in Mansfield Road at around 6.20pm on Sunday.

The car made off at speed and was found abandoned in Mossdale Road in nearby Sherwood a short time later.

A pair of suspects who ran from officers were then chased down and detained.

Two men, aged 26 and 23, were arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle and were later detained on suspicion of immigration offences.

Inspector Steven King, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This was a good bit of teamwork by multiple officers that resulted in the recovery of a suspected stolen car and the arrest of two suspects for serious offences. Our investigation into what happened is ongoing.”
