Men Arrested After Police Pursuit Through Market Harborough

Two suspected drug dealers were arrested after a driver crashed following a high-speed police pursuit through Market Harborough on Saturday.

The occupants of the Range Rover fled on foot when it careered into a ditch near Marston Trussell, but were soon caught thanks to Police Dog Bryn from Northants Police who tracked them through fields.

The driver had initially failed to stop for officers in Market Harborough at 1.20pm.

Sgt Charlie Davies said: “The Neighbour Priority Team conducted a search of the area with help from Northants officers, PD Bryn and the local farming community who kindly provided us with sightings of the males, who had exited the vehicle.

“A quantity of drugs, phones and other items were located inside the vehicle and nearby which was tracked by the excellent PD Bryn.

“A short time later, both males were arrested for failing to stop, driving whilst disqualified, dangerous driving, no insurance and possession with intent to supply class A drugs.”

The men aged 24 and 26 have been been released on bail pending further enquiries.
