"The driver lost control demolished a stone wall and a concrete lamppost, and ripped the front wheels off his car before he climbed out of the wreckage and legged it.

"Unfortunately for him the police vehicle behind was our land shark cruiser, think you can guess the rest of the story, the dog did his thing and found the male hiding in a garden.

"He's now in a cell for the night."
