A driver in a damaged vehicle was ordered to stop on Cleland’s Main Street but did not do so, sparking a police chase involving a dog unit in local woodland last Friday (October 15).
Officers spotted the vehicle at 3.20pm and signalled for the motorist to stop amidst safety fears, but instead of doing so, he started driving in a reckless manner instead.
After a short time the vehicle stopped on Cleland Road where the occupants made off on foot into the woods.
