10:00am Saturday 10th November 2012 in News By Laura Shack
A SHOPLIFTER escaped with around £50 of spirits in a car chase in Cirencester town centre on Monday.
The driver of the white Vauxhall Insignia car and a second man were spotted by a customer as they attempted to steal alcohol from Marks and Spencer on Dyer Street at around 1.30pm.
Police arrested a 53-year-old from Kingsdown in Bristol while he loaded the rental car, but the driver sped off and failed to stop for a pursuing officer.
Investigations are ongoing.
