POLICE made three arrests after pursuing a suspected stolen vehicle in Flintshire.

Officers chased occupants of a Mitsubishi L200, which was reported stolen in the north west of Wales on Monday through the streets of Flintshire after the pick-up truck was spotted at Rhydtalog, near Mold.

Police said the car was eventually stopped with use of a stinger in Pontblyddyn and the driver was arrested.

Two vehicles believed to be "travelling in convoy" with the pick-up truck were also stopped in Pontblyddyn and the drivers arrested, police said.

A North Wales Police spokesman said: "A Mitsubishi L200 was stolen in the western part of the force earlier today (Monday) and was later sighted at Rhydtalog.

"Police pursued the vehicle and a stinger was deployed at Pontblyddyn. The driver was arrested. Two vehicles travelling in convoy with the stolen car were also stopped in Pontblyddyn and the two drivers arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to steal a vehicle."
