Proactive Drug Arrest Following Pursuit

Proactive Drug Arrest Following Pursuit

Yesterday afternoon, whilst on patrol this vehicle immediately failed to stop and made off on seeing Police. Following a pursuit through the rural areas of Ashford, the vehicle eventually crashed. Fortunately, nobody was injured.

The driver was arrested for dangerous driving and failing to stop for police. A subsequent search of the vehicle uncovered a significant quantity of drugs, along with further evidence indicative of drug supply.

The driver remains in custody while enquiries continue. Through their actions, the driver placed themselves and other road users at considerable risk.
