About 3.20pm on January 13, officers were patrolling Cole Road, Tamworth, where they saw a silver sedan speed away.
The driver allegedly failed to stop as directed by police.

The 30-year-old woman was taken to Tamworth Police Station and charged with an outstanding arrest warrant for a traffic-related offence.
