Cleveland Police’s fresh-faced team, PC Harriet Thompson and her trusty partner PD Dino, hit the ground running on their very first shift. The dynamic duo nabbed a suspect and secured multiple charges in one thrilling chase!
High-Speed Chase Ends in Alleyway Arrest
It all kicked off on Tuesday evening, 2 December, when a car refused to stop on Roman Road, Middlesbrough. Officers pursued the vehicle until it was abandoned. The driver tried to make a run for it—but underestimated Dino’s sharp nose and PC Thompson’s expert handling.
The suspect was quickly tracked down to a nearby alley and caught without any fuss.
Suspect Faces Serious Charges
The 30-year-old woman behind the wheel now faces a slew of charges:
- Dangerous driving
- Failing to stop
- Driving without insurance
- Failing to provide a specimen for analysis
- Driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence
She is set to appear at Teesside Magistrates Court on Wednesday 31 December.
