Officers seized a car in a Derbyshire town yesterday after a driver sped off in a bid to evade the police.

On Sunday, October 29, officers from the Heanor and Langley Safer Neighbourhood Team were undertaking patrols, when a black Vauxhall caught their attention.

An SNT spokesperson said: “When the officers signalled for the vehicle to stop, it made off at speed.
