This is the dramatic dashcam footage of a high-speed swoop by Northamptonshire Police to intercept a stolen car near Newport Pagnell on the M1.
The force's Armed Response Vehicle team was alerted to the gold Volvo SUV heading south just before 8am on Friday (January 31).
They tracked the vehicle before forcing it to stop by using their own vehicles to box in the stolen Volvo. A 21-year-old man from Bedford was later arrested.
