Three men have been arrested after a suspected stolen car was used to ram a police vehicle in Nottingham.
Officers spotted the car in Ridgeway Walk, Top Valley, at 20:30 GMT on Thursday and followed it before it reversed into the police car several times in Chevin Gardens, Nottinghamshire Police said.
The police driver then pinned the vehicle against a fence, trapping the culprits inside, and multiple car keys, tools, number plates and other items of interest were recovered, said the force.
Three men, aged 42, 41 and 34, have been arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle and going equipped to steal.
The younger man has also been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, driving without insurance and driving whilst disqualified.
Det Ch Insp Claire Gould said: "This was a great bit of work by the officers involved - particularly the advanced driver who acted so quickly and decisively to bring this incident to a safe conclusion and protect the public from harm."
