Wanted man caught by Gosport police officers after fleeing on pushbike

A wanted man has been chased down by police after fleeing from officers on a pushbike.

Gosport Police have shared a picture on social media this afternoon (November 12) after a cyclist refused to pull over when asked.

The force explained how the man, who was wanted in connection with four shopliftings and a burglary, refused to stop after being asked several times.

The post said: “Officers were left with no choice but to chase him down and give him the opportunity to lay on the floor whilst handcuffs were applied.

“Having been brought to justice by two of Gosport's finest he is currently awaiting interview.”

The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary has been contacted for further information.
