Officers said that the Audi Q3 had been taken from the Wolverhampton area on Sunday and was spotted by the force's helicopter crew.

The car was then followed to Dudley – with officers saying the car stopped on a driveway in a bid to "blend in".

But the driver rammed the police car twice in an attempt to flee.

Both the driver and another person inside the vehicle were arrested at the scene.

The West Midlands Police Traffic Unit said on Twitter: "This Audi Q3 was stolen from Wolverhampton and sighted by our friends on The National Police Air Service in the Dudley area.

"It was followed until it stopped on a drive, in an attempt to 'blend in'. On seeing us, the driver rammed the police car twice in an attempt to get away. Both arrested."
