Man arrested after car crashes into Worksop pub
A man has been arrested after a reported stolen car crashed into the side of a pub.
Nottinghamshire police were alerted to a vehicle that was taken from Thackeray’s Lane, Woodthorpe, shortly after 8 pm on Monday 27 March. They were able to track the movements of the car as it sped through the countryside and headed towards Worksop.
The car failed to stop before crashing into the side of the Lockside pub, Victoria Square, Worksop. Police officers arrested a man at the scene after they located a man who had gone into the canal in a bid to escape.
A 36-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of motor vehicle theft, driving while disqualified, failing to stop and dangerous driving. He remains in custody. No injuries were reported by Nottinghamshire police.
Sergeant Clint Gloyn, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Thankfully no-one was injured during this incident.
“This manner of driving placed not only the people inside the pub at risk of harm but the driver themselves, our officers, and members of the public in the area.
“I want to thank motorists and the community for their patience last night while we dealt with the incident and worked with our partners to make sure the area was safe.
