A police chase involving a Range Rover reversing at 80mph ended in a two-wheel pursuit on a helpful bystander’s bicycle before the suspect was finally caught.
South Yorkshire Police officers followed the white Range Rover Evoque through the streets of Rotherham on Wednesday after the car, believed to be stolen, refused to stop.
A video captured by an officer’s bodycam shows the driver reversing away from a police car at high speeds on 30mph roads.

Wow proper policing 👏
Now that's a great professional police officer 😊
Copper on a bike, not seen that in a long time.
And how is this news?
Good commentary, good chasing!😎
I hope the cyclist got his bike back.
Wouldn't let a copper borrow a pen nevermind me bike.
Range Rovers fair poorly in police chases. They don’t hold up like Suburbans do.
Didn't show him putting the criminal on the handle-bars and cycling back to the police vehicle
This whole pursuit is comedy gold 😂
Only for the bike he was away
‘This a strange pursuit it’s in reverse’😂😂
This is what the world needs, more positive media as theres absolutely no balance from outlets. 90% of the time its new stories which pray on people fears. Who'd responsibly build a world like that and not expect fear to become normalised, acceptable etc.🤦
Great policing!
How did the torygraph get this video?
Useless laws useless police =Lawless britain
Examplary video. We all know most pursuits are not this perfect. Got to appreciate the hard work.
Perhaps, it's time to give them a choice, we are a democracy after all…
If a suspect has been convicted, then they serve their sentance or they can choose to go and help Ukraine or Gaza – delivering aid, medical supply's etc…

Let's call it, International community service 🏥
I have a feeling that overall crime might start to fall a bit 😉
Ps. Any criminal that is convicted of murder, manslaughter etc, or considered a real danger to the public or themselves are not allowed this privilege.
Im not guying any car gping 80 mph in reverse
That was a pursuit? Copper needs to go back to driving school.
