Witnesses sought after Nuneaton man arrested under suspicion of stealing car from Leamington

A 26-year-old man from Nuneaton was arrested this morning (27 October) following an incident of dangerous driving in Leamington.

At around 4am, officers reportedly witnessed a grey Volkswagen Tiguan leaving Leamington at high speed in convoy with a grey Ford Focus.

They reportedly requested that the vehicles stopped, which they allegedly failed to do, reportedly continuing at high speed out of the town in a dangerous fashion and allegedly mounting the kerb at points.

A stinger was allegedly used to bring the vehicles to a stop on the A45 near Ryton, at which point it is reported that a short foot chase ensued and one of the drivers was arrested.

The Tiguan allegedly contained several items of electronic equipment for the theft of keyless vehicles.

This car was reportedly later found to have been stolen from Clarendon Crescent in Leamington earlier that evening.

A 26-year-old man from Nuneaton has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, failure to stop, and theft of a motor vehicle.

He remains in custody at this time.
