During a proactive patrol in the Athersley area of Barnsley in the early evening on 14 May, PC Rebecca Hunt, from the Barnsley North East neighbourhood policing team, spotted a silver Renault Megane which was suspected to be involved in the supply of drugs in the area.
Knowing this, PC Hunt activated her blue lights requesting the driver to stop, Morgan Swindells, to stop, which he failed to do so.
Swindells then attempted to flee, driving dangerously through side roads, narrowly missing other road users and parked cars. Using her skills and experience, PC Hunt followed closely behind, before the pursuit came to an abrupt stop and Swindells attempted to flee further on foot.
Supported by a PCSO who was calling for backup, PC Hunt was quick off the mark, catching up with Swindells only a few feet from the crashed vehicle. While being detained Swindells acted aggressively, pushing PC Hunt away from him, further trying to evade arrest.
