Officers used lights and sirens to bring the vehicle to a stop, however the vehicle made off.
“A short pursuit commenced along Market Street where the vehicle – a Volkswagen – was involved in a collision with two other cars,” says a spokesperson.
“The Volkswagen then continued onto the A38 Bristol Road and was lost to sight by officers. It was then located by officers a short distance down the road after being involved in a collision between three other vehicles.”
“Two people were arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, driving while under the influence of drugs, going equipped to steal and failure to stop.”
