A 16-year-old boy has been arrested and charged in connection with multiple incidents following a ‘short pursuit’ by police on the A92.
The chase came after police received reports that a van had been stolen from Arbroath High Street on Friday night.
The van was soon found on the A92, and after a short chase the teenage driver was arrested on the dual carriageway between Dundee and Arbroath.
He is set to appear in court, however a date has not yet been given.
