West Midlands Police (Traffic) have released some dashcam and body-cam footage of a pursuit that happened in Birmingham in July 2020.
Officers in an unmarked police vehicle indicated for the cloned Skoda Octavia to stop, but it failed to do so.
During the pursuit, the driver of the fleeing vehicle, who has not been named, repeatedly reversed into officers cars in a bid to try and escape.
But it wasn’t long before the driver was detained and charged with multiple offences—more details in the video.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!
As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.
And remember, if you have a service, product or job vacancy that you would like to promote to our large readership, then you can buy advertising space in our articles.
You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

22 months, out in 11. Utter nonsense. He should spend the rest of this ban plus the new one inside. He should further be jailed for at least a year for dangerous driving, another year for the cloning and another for resisting arrest. This would see him locked up for at least 5 years, if not longer. Any future driving offences would see the sentences double on each occasion. Put another way, on his fourth serious driving offence (including this one), he would be locked up for 40 years.
Only then will we see people start to behave again, which is what we want. If they do not, then they are taken out of circulation where they can do no mischief. He was described as an Asian male. If he is not a British citizen, he should be immediately deported and interned until put on a plane. If his family cannot cope without resorting to benefits, they can all go too.
Apart from cleaning up our streets, we also need to clear out criminal foreigners. This is a country for law abiding British citizens of any race, creed or colour. The second anybody abuses our great nation, they must be swiftly and firmly dealt with.
