Helicopter scrambled during police pursuit through Peterborough
The police helicopter was called to help officers pursuing a wanted man in Peterborough.
At 11.12am today (22 July), an ANPR alert on the northbound carriageway of the A1 at St Neots alerted officers to a vehicle containing a man who was believed to be wanted by another force on suspicion of a number of theft related offences.
When officers attempted to stop the vehicle, it made off.
A Cambridgeshire police spokesman said: “The car was pursued throughout Peterborough city centre, with assistance from the National Police Air Service.
“However, despite best efforts, the car was not stopped.
“Efforts to re-locate the vehicle in the area came to no avail.”
