A SUSPECT has been arrested following a police chase involving dogs and a helicopter.

Last night officers pursued a white van, which had been stolen from Halifax three days before. 

They pursued the vehicle into Liversedge where the driver dumped the van at the side of the road and ran off.

But, with the assistance of the West Yorkshire Police Dog Support Unit and the National Police Air Service helicopter, the driver was located.

The culprit was then arrested on suspicion of aggravated vehicle taking and document offences.
