Subsequent checks showed the car was registered to a house in the Greater Manchester area and that it had been reported as stolen.

A spokesperson for Derbyshire Constabulary said: “Two 19-year-old men from Mansfield were arrested nearby on suspicion of failing to stop for police and burglary.

“They have been questioned and released under investigation while inquiries continue. The Audi has been recovered and our colleagues at Greater Manchester Police have been informed.”
