'Get in' - woman joins police chase by giving officer a lift in Nissan Micra

A police officer pursued a suspect named Jacob Roberts on foot after he fled in a van, crashing into several vehicles and buildings. During the chase, Roberts entered a dead-end street and abandoned his vehicle, attempting to evade capture on foot. A female driver, whose identity was not disclosed, stopped her Nissan Micra and offered the officer a ride, assisting in the pursuit. The officer directed the driver to the location of Roberts, who was eventually apprehended. Roberts was later convicted of multiple driving offenses and received a one-year-and-two-month prison sentence along with a three-year driving ban. Police praised the driver's assistance and emphasized the dangers posed by Roberts' reckless behavior.
