A MAN has been arrested and another remains on the run following a dramatic late-night police chase from Pembroke Dock to Milford Haven.

Dyfed-Powys Police confirmed that the pursuit began shortly before midnight on Wednesday (Nov 5) when the driver of a blue Ford Fiesta failed to stop for officers in Ferry Lane, Pembroke Dock.

The car was then pursued across the Cleddau Bridge by two police cars, travelling at speed through several areas before reaching Milford Haven, where witnesses described it “flying through Hakin and Glebelands” — residential areas on the west side of the town — and even driving the wrong way down some streets.

The chase ended in Myrtle Drive, Steynton, after the Fiesta collided with a parked car and crashed through a garden fence. Two men were seen fleeing from the vehicle on foot.

Police carried out a search of the surrounding area and quickly detained a 28-year-old man, who remains in custody on suspicion of failing to stop, dangerous driving, driving under the influence of illegal drugs, and possession of offensive weapons.

The second suspect has not yet been found, and enquiries are ongoing to locate him.

Residents in Steynton told The Herald they were left “shaken but thankful” after the chase ended just metres from their homes. One witness said: “It all happened so fast — there was police everywhere, and the sound of sirens echoing through the estate.”

No injuries have been reported.

Dyfed-Powys Police have appealed for anyone with information or dashcam footage to come forward as the investigation continues.
