The vehicle, which was using cloned license plates, was tracked driving through Rotherham at high speeds.

Roads Policing Officers asked the vehicle to pull over but the driver refused, leading to a short pursuit before the car went off road in Doncaster.

The car was located by officers in woodland and was found with approximately 50 cannabis plants.

While awaiting recovery, four men were seen suspiciously approaching the car.

The men were detained by officers and brought into custody, with a check of the vehicle confirming it as the same vehicle that had been stolen from a home in Mexborough earlier this month.

A 17-year-old boy, two 20-year-old men and a 40-year-old man have been arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle and burglary.

They have been bailed pending further enquiries.
