POLICE arrested three men on suspicion of burglary and recovered a stolen vehicle following a police pursuit early on Wednesday morning.
In the early hours of Wednesday morning, a Kia Picanto failed to stop for officers in Wath and after it sped off, officers pursued the Kia to Mexborough where a stinger was successfully deployed to bring the vehicle to a stop.
The occupants of the stolen Kia attempted to flee the scene but officers made three arrests, with two men, aged 21 and 19, and a 16-year-old boy detained and taken into custody.
A search of the Kia led to further stolen property being identified and recovered by officers.
Sergeant Andy Smith, of Doncaster South Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: "The occupants of the stolen vehicle showed a complete disregard for public safety as they ignored our requests to stop and instead led officers on a pursuit in which they drove at excessive speeds.
"Officers from our Roads Policing Group acted diligently and professionally to pursue the vehicle and safely bring it to a stop by deploying a stinger at a critical moment.
"Even after being halted by the stinger, the suspects still tried to flee the scene, but officers worked quickly to apprehend three people and bring them into custody.
"We will actively pursue vehicles that fail to stop for officers when it is safe to do so, and I hope this emphasises our commitment to fighting vehicle crime and keeping our communities safe."
