Man arrested after suspected stolen car crashed into Sunderland garden wall
A man has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving after a suspected stolen car was crashed into a garden wall.
A police helicopter was used in a chase which also involved police cars, on the evening of Monday, July 10.
Officers say there were no injuries. However, a garden wall in the Pennywell area of Sunderland was badly damaged.
A Northumbria Police spokesperson said: “Shortly after 6.30pm last night officers from the Force’s Motor Patrols department were made aware of a suspected stolen vehicle driving on the A19, near the junction with the A183.
“With the assistance of the National Police Air Service, a short pursuit took place and the vehicle was followed making its way to the Pennywell area.
“However, instead of stopping the car, the driver continued on, but collided with a wall on Partick Road.
“No one was injured but a 21-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving.
“He remains in custody at this time and enquiries are ongoing.”
