The 26-year-old man was chased by police before coming to a stop at Worfield Golf Course in Rudge Heath. He was one of two who failed to stop for officers in the area last night.

The incident took place some time before 11pm and police report that while one driver was able to get away, the other was caught after ploughing through a field, leaving a trail of what looks like oil along the grass.

He was arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle, along with other driving offences.

Shortly after the incidents, West Mercia Police's Operational Patrol Unit said: "2x fail to stops in Bridgnorth so far tonight. One driver will be dealt with slow time after he wasn't stopped.

"However this driver will be spending the night in custody for his antics."

The 26-year-old man was being held in police custody.
