A man was arrested for a series of alleged offences on Monday following a police chase in Bagillt. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Officers from North Wales Police only wanted to offer the driver “some words of advice about not wearing a seatbelt” when he made off. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Once it had been stopped, police recovered an offensive weapon from the car which had suffered extensive damage.  ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

A post of on the forces North Flintshire Facebook page states:   ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“Sorry if we blocked the road today. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The driver of this vehicle decided to make off from Police today when they only wanted to offer him some words of advice about not wearing a seatbelt! ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Needless to say he is now under arrest for dangerous driving, failing stop for police, driving whilst under the influence of drugs, no insurance and possessing an offensive weapon. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Oh and of course….. no seatbelt! ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

No one was injured in this incident as the vehicle he happened to make off from was only one of our awesome traffic cops. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

As for the self- inflicted damage to your car…… we’re sure it will buff right out!” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
