A car robbed from a Huddersfield driver at knifepoint has been recovered - 70 miles away.
This Toyota Rav 4 was stolen in the town, but quick-thinking police officers managed to recover it after it was driven miles away to the coast.
The silver 4x4 was spotted in Blackpool and stopped by officers - before they gave chase to the driver inside. Police managed to make the arrest.
Lancashire Road Police tweeted a picture of the vehicle early this morning (Friday), writing: “The hunt was on for this vehicle, stolen in Huddersfield as a result of a knifepoint robbery during the early hours! “Vehicle sighted [sic], stopped and driver arrested after a brief foot chase in B’pool!”
The car has since been recovered and will be returned to its owner.
