An 18-year-old and a teenage boy was arrested following a pursuit through Sheffield that came to an end in Derbyshire on Sunday afternoon.

In an update posted today, South Yorkshire Police said:

“Run if you want, but a dog is round the corner’ are words that brought two suspects to a halt following a pursuit into Derbyshire.

Yesterday, Sunday 23 February, just after 1pm, armed officers descended to the Oughtibridge area of Sheffield after a vehicle believed to be on cloned plates was sighted.

The driver failed to stop for officers and a pursuit commenced. The driver abandoned the car, a blue Honda Jazz in Holmesdale Road in Derbyshire.

Two suspects, believed to be the driver and passenger fled through a convenience store and attempted to hide in a residential area.

Armed officers were quick on their heels, and with a little help from members of the public, found the two suspects a few minutes later.

The suspects were detained while a search of them, and the car were carried out. During the search, officers found drugs and a crowbar.

A man, aged 18, was arrested on suspicion of theft of a vehicle, dangerous driving, driving without insurance, driving while under the influence of drugs and criminal damage.

A 15-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of taking a vehicle without consent, criminal damage and going equipped.

Both have been released on police bail while enquiries continue.”
