Police officers taking part in Operation Galileo - which is targeting hare coursing - said on social media that the high speed pursuit ended when a stinger device brought the Grand Cherokee Jeep to an eventual halt.

They said: “A Grand Cherokee led RCAT officers on a 32 mile pursuit starting at Holme at around 4pm to Chittering before it was stung at 5pm (on Saturday, September 12).

“The vehicle was driving dangerously in excess of the speed limit and showed a blatant disregard for the safety of the public.
