Carlisle Man Charged Following Pursuit
A man from Carlisle has been charged following a pursuit through Cumbria on Saturday 21st January 2012. Adrian Whitelock, aged 32 from Carlisle, was charged with possession of control drugs and dangerous driving and will appear at Carlisle Magistrates Court on Monday.

A passenger in the vehicle then ran off from the car near to Tebay Motorway Services and a short time later was arrested by the police. The Megane continued North towards Penrith and was brought to a halt near to Junction 42 at Carlisle after the use of a 'stinger' device which managed to puncture the tyres and stop the car. The vehicle reached speeds in excess of 110mph during the pursuit. No one was injured during the incident. The passenger, a 40 year old man from Carlisle, was released without charge.
