Patrols in Margate spotted a motorist who appeared to be driving erratically in Millmead Road, Margate, in the early hours of Monday 30 May 2022. According to reports, the man did not stop for police and was pursued through Thanet. Officers used a stinger to bring the car to a stop on the A256 near Ash Road, but the man fled the scene.
A search was conducted with the assistance of PD Ciara, who led her handler to a bush. She discovered a man hiding from patrols, who she believes was the driver.
The 24-year-old Ramsgate man was arrested on suspicion of failing to stop for police and driving recklessly. After failing a roadside drugs test for cocaine, he was arrested for suspected drug driving.
The man has since been released from custody, and officers are continuing their investigation.
