A DRIVER was arrested after being detained in a bramble brush. 

Officers from West Yorkshire Police's Steerside Enforcement Team said they pursued a Volkswagen from Bolton Road, Bradford, before it was abandoned in Fagley.

A spokesperson for the team said: "The driver made off on foot but was detained nearby in a bramble bush.

"They were arrested on suspicion of driving and drugs offences.

"Investigations are ongoing."

Operation Steerside was formed in 2016 - two months after the Telegraph & Argus launched its 'Stop the Danger Drivers' campaign.

A dedicated team was set up three years later specifically to tackle crimes on our roads.
