Man charged following police pursuit in Handforth

Officers have charged a man from Manchester with a number of offences following a pursuit in Cheshire.

Craig Haynes was arrested at around 2.15am on Saturday 25 January following a pursuit involving a grey Fiat Punto which began in Handforth and concluded near to the Flying Horse on Styal Road.

The 32-year-old of George Mann Close, Manchester, has since been charged with dangerous driving, failing to stop for officers, driving without insurance and driving without a licence.

Haynes has been released on conditional bail and is set to appear at Crewe Magistrates Court on Thursday 13 February 2024.

Following the incident Chief Inspector John Forshaw, of the Cheshire Police Roads and Crime unit, said:

"This was a great example of teamwork from different units across the force, each of which were pivotal in securing the arrest of an individual who clearly showed no regard for the safety of members of the public.

"Thanks to our officers working together, we were able to keep up with the suspect and eventually bring his dangerous behaviour to an end.

"This should serve as an example that if you try and commit crime in Cheshire, we will find you, and you will be arrested for your actions."
