A number of cars have been damaged during a police pursuit out of Bournemouth.

Officers were alerted to a report of a stolen green Peugeot 307 at the junction of Alma Road and Heron Court Road just before one-thirty yesterday afternoon - and chased it along the A338 towards Ashley Heath, eventually stopping it with a stinger device.

They say the driver, a 46-year-old man of no fixed abode, was arrested at the scene and is being questioned.
