Later that day, at around 11.40pm, the vehicle was spotted and failed to stop for officers, Northamptonshire Police say. The vehicle did eventually stop in Harborough Road where three people decamped.

A team effort between officers and PD Olly then saw all three arrested. Linked evidential property was also found by PD Olly nearby, according to the Northants Police Dog Section, posting on X after the incident.

A force spokeswoman has confirmed a 42-year-old man has been charged with a number of offences in connection with the incident including failing to stop, aggravated vehicle taking, vehicle damage under £5,000, and driving without insurance.
