The car failed to stop for the officers and continued until the driver pulled over and attempted to run away. He was caught and failed a roadside drugs swipe for cannabis and cocaine.

The man, who is in his twenties and from Sittingbourne, was arrested on suspicion of driving whilst unfit through drugs, dangerous driving and failing to stop for police. He has been released under investigation pending the results of toxicology reports.
