🚨 Arrest Made After Police Stop Recovery Vehicle in Ipswich 🚨

A recent incident in Ipswich involved the arrest of a 17-year-old girl following a high-speed chase.

The teenager allegedly drove a stolen car dangerously on the wrong side of the Ipswich Motorway, attempting to evade police.

The pursuit concluded when officers deployed tyre spikes, leading to the arrest of both the driver and her 14-year-old passenger.

The girl, already on probation for similar offences, has been denied bail due to her extensive criminal history and the serious nature of her.

A man has been arrested after police stopped a recovery vehicle in Landseer Road in Ipswich, Suffolk.
