Officers in an unmarked BMW spotted the driver of a white van speeding in Blackpool in the early hours of the morning.

The driver failed to pull over when signalled by officers, which led to a high speed pursuit through the resort.

He was soon outmanoeuvred by the undercover traffic cops who brought him to a stop, but the drama didn’t end there.
