A driver who led police on a pursuit through the streets of Burnley has been charged with multiple driving offences.
In a social media update, Lancs Police Specialist Ops said,
“This Berlingo was seen being driven erratically in Burnley in the early hours of this morning (Sat May 25th).
HT48 from the Roads Policing Unit attempted to stop the vehicle but the driver decided he would prefer not to speak to the officers and led them on a pursuit through Cliviger and Burnley Wood, ultimately giving up next to Turf Moor following a well executed Stinger deployment by Lancs ARV’s HR95.
The driver was arrested and has now been charged with:
-Failing to stop
-Dangerous driving
-Drink driving
-Driving without insurance
-Driving without a licence
He was remanded in custody to appear at court on Monday.
