A huge police response including a helicopter and dog unit were reportedly deployed after a West Lothian driver ran away from police when they attempted to pull them over.
As well as local road policing officers, the force helicopter, a dog unit and offers from West Lothian Police were drafted in to trace a motorist who was allegedly chased within the Bathgate area on Tuesday.
Edinburgh Live reports that officers took to Twitter to make the public aware of the incident and said after a routine stop, the driver made off and was eventually found "hiding in woods."
The driver was arrested for multiple offences as the Livingston Road Policing Unit also uploaded a picture of the suspects supposed drug wipe test which appears to show a positive result for cannabis.
