A HELICOPTER search was launched on Wednesday evening after a police pursuit in Boscombe.

The driver of a grey Audi A6 failed to stop when required by police in Derby Road at around 9.10pm, and was pursued by officers into Vale Road where it crashed into a wall.

The force said two men got out the vehicle and fled towards Knyveton Road, while a third was seen heading for Southcote Road.

A spokesman said: "A 24-year-old man from Liverpool has been arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle and currently helping police with their enquiries."

The force is still seeking two men in connection with the incident. Contact Dorset Police with information on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
