Nottinghamshire Police arrested two men following the pursuit.

Officers saw a car being driven erratically and followed it through Warsop and into Shirebrook before a man fled the car and ran off.

Police chased him on foot through the town centre before the man got into the passenger side of a BMW and drove off.

However, a stinger was used as the car was travelling towards Mansfield Woodhouse and two men were arrested by officers with Tasers. The Tasers were not fired.

A 31-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of failing to stop, taking of a motor vehicle and failing to provide a specimen.

A 30-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender and taking of a motor vehicle.

They both remain in police custody.
