A wheelchair user led police on a blue light chase on a road in Sheffield on Sunday, 26 January.
South Yorkshire Police said they received a call reporting shoplifting at Meadowhall shopping centre.
A spokesperson said: “It is understood that a 33-year-old woman stole a high value of goods and left the scene, travelling on a mobility scooter along Weedon Street.”
Police said they followed the woman, who was reportedly driving erratically, due to concern for the woman’s safety and that of other road users.
The woman was detained, and stolen items were recovered. She admitted to stealing the items and will be dealt with by way of an out-of-court disposal.

This is the same force who ignored Rotherham rape gangs for years, and the Hillsborough cover up, nice to see they have got their act together
This reminds of the car chase scene in Bullitt
That was a reet manoeuvre round the car like
Hannah cockroft has been on the diamond white.
That's some crazy driving skills.
The whole world is laughing at us 😢.
As usual, filmed in vertical moron vision
That is the t lady
The police either chasing wheel chairs or locking people up for hurtful tweets.
Seems immature to me
So, getting out of their car and run a bit was too far fetched?
Is this the new Fast and Furious?
Get out of your car, you lazy unless idiots?
How crap of a police officer do they have to be to get outmaneuvered by someone on a mobility scooter
Did they call in special forces?

Waiting for back up to attempt a TPAC 😂😂😂
She should get points on her licence lol
Just shows how much of an utter joke police are nowadays.
Ah, sure: you would need to train with David Goggins for at least 3 months to be able to get out of your car and grab the hand of the lady controlling that terrifying mobility device she was speeding with at the bold blazing speed of 4km/h.
Given the current (lack of) hiring standard in the UK police, better if they called it a day, then back to browse internet to find the posters of hurty words to harass and intimidate instead, uh?

10MPH HIGH SPEED PURSUIT 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
