A disqualified driver is due to front court today (Wednesday 29 June, 2022) after leading police on a pursuit from Hamilton to Cardiff.
Police say officers noticed a Mazda 3 being driven erratically in Beaumont Street just before 10.00pm on Tuesday.
They began following the car when the driver failed to stop, with the car allegedly swerving onto the wrong side of the road.
A Polair fixed wing aircraft tracked the car to an industrial estate in Pendlebury Road where the driver dumped the vehicle and ran off.
The 24-year-old man from Birmingham Gardens was arrested a short time later.
He's been refused bail to face Newcastle Local Court today charged with disqualified and dangerous driving.
