Officers successfully pursued a digger travelling at just 3mph, after being alerted just after 3.20am today, March 9, about a reported theft from a building site on Park Lane, Basford.

They managed to smash the windows and pull the driver from the vehicle after it failed to stop.

A 35-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle and driving while disqualified.
