Man, 22, charged after three-mile police chase through Northampton ends with Audi sports car crashing
Armed officers used stinger to halt runaway vehicle in Abington
A three-mile police chase through Northampton ended with an Audi sports car crashing into a parked car in the early hours of Thursday (July 21).
Armed Response officers used a ‘stinger’ to burst tyres on a bright yellow S3 in an attempt to bring the vehicle a halt.
Northamptonshire Police say the car activated ANPR cameras after reports it had failed to stop for Thames Valley Police.
A spokesman said: “The vehicle was spotted by officers in Talavera Way at around 2.20pm, resulted in a short pursuit and a stinger being used to bring it to a stop in Abington Grove, Northampton."
Police confirmed a 22-year-old man from Northampton has been charged with four offences including dangerous driving and failing to stop and is due to appear at Northampton Magistrates’ Court on August 19.
