Body-worn video footage (click to play above) has captured the moment firearms officers tracking a wanted man worked in tandem to intercept a car and arrest a suspect. On Sunday morning (13 April), officers were alerted to a blue Peugeot suspected of being driven on cloned plates around the Edlington area of Doncaster .

Police swooped to arrest a wanted man in Doncaster. As firearms officers tailed the Peugeot in an unmarked vehicle, colleagues from the same team in a marked police vehicle arrived from a different direction to intercept the vehicle and block it at a junction to prevent it from fleeing the area.

A 24-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of affray and taken into police custody. A woman was also dealt with at the scene for document offences. While in custody, a snap bag of suspected drugs was found in his cell, leading to him being re-arrested for possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.

"Both sets of officers communicated on their radios to track the Peugeot's whereabouts before intercepting it at a safe point so the occupants had no choice but to stop and comply with police. "We will continue to utilise a range of tactics at our disposal to work proactively to fight crime and keep our communities safe.
