A suspect has been arrested following a disturbance at a pub at Leysdown-on-Sea pub which led to a police pursuit.
Kent Police was called at around 9.30pm on Thursday 23 August 2024, after damage was allegedly caused at the premises in Leysdown Road. A man left the scene in a van and officers who had arrived at the scene located the vehicle before requesting the driver to stop.
However the van failed to stop and continued for more than 30 miles pursued by patrols that were assisted by the police helicopter. It was finally halted on the A2 near Brenley Corner, between Faversham and Canterbury after cops deployed a stinger device to bring the vehicle to a stop.
A 38-year-old man from Chatham was arrested on suspicion of multiple driving offences and criminal damage. He was later bailed until 21 November while the investigation into the incident continues.
