A man has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and failing to stop for police following a pursuit.

On Thursday 7 August shortly before 9pm Essex Police officers required the rider of a motorbike to stop in Third Avenue, Harlow, which he failed to do.

A pursuit was carried out by a fully trained police driver for a short period of time through Water Lane and Paringdon Road, Harlow, and Nazeing Road, Waltham Abbey, where the rider was arrested.

Essex Police would like anyone who was in the area at the time and has captured dash cam footage of the incident to contact them.
