Police caught up with the dozy driver after he fled into a field in an attempt to evade armed police. He abandoned the Ford Focus but was arrested a short time later after police found documents containing his name and address inside the car.

       Staffordshire Police tweeted pictures of the stranded car after chasing the driver through a boggy field in Abbey Hulton, Staffs, in the early hours of Sunday morning.

       Writing on the Staffsresponse Twitter page, they said: “Firearms officers from #Shift5North have had a vehicle pursuit in Abbey Hulton.

       “The driver got stuck in a field and made off. He kindly left all of his personal details inside the vehicle for us to find him.”

       It ended: “Not the smartest move on his part! See you soon”

       Social media users also mocked the driver following his arrest.
