Police have arrested the driver of a car involved in a chase, but a manhunt continues to find the passenger.

The force pursued a white Hyundai Kona down the A405 after it failed to stop in Ross Crescent, Watford, this morning (February 26).

Officers “tactically brought the vehicle to a stop” near a junction with North Approach and the car was left on the grass alongside the road by around 10am.

The driver, a 20-year-old man from Watford, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle, dangerous driving, and failing to stop for police.

He remains in police custody at this time.

Herts Police have confirmed a search for the vehicle’s other occupant continues, with assistance from the National Police Air Service, as of 12.15pm.

“We would encourage them to get in contact, to make sure they are okay,” a spokesperson added.

The exit from North Approach to the A405 was coned off by officers immediately following the car being brought to a stop, with motorists advised to avoid the area.
