The car had failed to stop for officers on Thursday night (February 28) in Gorleston.

Officers then used a stinger, or spike strip - this is a device placed on a road for stopping a car by puncturing its tyres - and three police vehicles followed and blocked the car.

Officers were assisted by their dog, Harry.

The driver was arrested for numerous offences.
