Two men have been arrested and fined for breaching Covid-19 regulations after a van failed to stop for police in Hastings on Tuesday (January 5).
Police checked the van they'd seen crossing the roundabout from Queens Road to Ephinstone Road and found the vehicle had no MOT and no insurance.
Officers signalled for the van to pull over but the driver failed to do so.
A short pursuit came to a stop in Henderson Close, Hastings, where two occupants ran from the vehicle.
One was detained by officrs nearby, and the second was detained with the use of a dog and thermal imaging drone camera.
A 38-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of driving while disqualified, failing to stop when required to do so by police, and theft of a motor vehicle.
A 33-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle.
Both have been released on conditional bail until February 2 while enquiries continue.
