A POLICE helicopter joined a 100mph late-night chase through the Forest of Dean before officers stopped a car with a stinger in Coleford.
A 21-year-old Forest man was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and drug-driving and later bailed pending further enquiries.
A Gloucestershire Police spokesperson said: “Shortly after 1.30am on Thursday, February 6, police received a report about a motorist in Cheltenham who was suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
“Officers located the vehicle on the A40, however, the driver failed to stop, advancing at speeds of more than 100mph.
“The vehicle was driven onto the A48 and through the Forest, while being pursued by Gloucestershire Constabulary, supported by the National Police Air Service and Gwent Police. The vehicle was finally stopped by “stinger” in Coleford.”
