A man has been arrested on the A58 after a Wild West-style chase involving 15 police cars. The suspect, who was driving a black Audi, was first spotted by police on the A58 near Breda. He failed to stop when ordered to do so and instead drove off at high speed.

The suspect, who is in his 30s, was arrested and taken into custody. He is currently being questioned by police.
