A DRIVER who tried to flee after being pursued by the Police Interceptors has been arrested.
Police officers made famous by the Channel5 show intervened when a stolen car was spotted around Seal Sands on Thursday.
The driver, who had initially stopped, sped away when approached, fleeing along Tees Road into Hartlepool.
A stinger device – nicknamed ‘the hedgehog’s revenge’ – was deployed and punctured all four of the car’s tyres.
The vehicle then collided with a road sign and the driver attempted to flee but was quickly detained and arrested by officers from the Cleveland and Durham Roads Policing Unit.
