A POLICE pursuit throughout the borough came to a grinding halt in Wombwell with the arrest of two men.
On Tuesday at around 11pm, police were alerted to a white Ford Transit van which had previously been reported stolen as it failed to stop for officers.
A spokesperson for South Yorkshire Police said: “A pursuit by police vehicles followed, with one police car sustaining damage after the van reversed into the car.
“The police officer inside the car suffered minor injuries.
“The pursuit is understood to have concluded in the Bradberry Balk Lane area, with the occupants of the van fleeing the scene.
“Two people, a 21-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy, have been arrested in connection with the incident.
“They are currently in police custody. Enquiries are ongoing.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
