Stolen Vehicle On False Number Plates Pursued On A429 With 3 Arrested

A Volkswagen Jetta (pictured) stolen from Erdington last month was being driven on false number plates down the A429 towards the Shipston Policing area yesterday, but didn’t make it that far.

Following a short Police pursuit the vehicle collided with two other cars and came to a stop off the road. Three males, all from the Birmingham area, ran away but were quickly arrested.

Two 19 year old males and a 25 year old male were arrested on suspicion of theft of motor vehicle. The 25 year old was also arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, possession with intent to supply a Class A drug and failing to stop for Police.

With more false number plates and balaclavas in the car I got to babysit it waiting for recovery while the three males were taken to Leamington custody.
