Man arrested after police pursue stolen car in Wolverhampton

The Mini Countryman was seen by West Midlands Police officers who, after checks, found the car had been stolen in a burglary, had been cloned and was being used by a man wanted by police.

Police said the driver decamped from the car in a housing estate near Bilston following a pursuit, and then attempted to escape on foot.

However, he was subsequently caught and arrested following a foot chase on the entrance to the Khalsa Academy.

A spokesman for West Midlands Police said: "Road Crime Team officers saw this cloned Mini Countryman in Wolverhampton which had been stolen in a burglary & was being used by a wanted male.

"The driver decamped following a pursuit but was quickly arrested following a foot chase."
