Four men have been arrested after a Jeep was driven the wrong way along the A14 near Bury St Edmunds.
Police were first called just before 12.30pm on Friday, February 13, following reports of suspected hare coursing on private land in Westhorpe, near Stowmarket.
Officers attended the area and received a further report that the suspects had left in a blue Jeep. Enquiries established the vehicle was travelling via back roads before joining the westbound A14 at junction 47 near Elmswell.
Police, supported by the National Police Air Service (NPAS), deployed marked and unmarked vehicles to the area. Rolling road blocks were put in place in both directions between junctions 43 and 42 at around 1.35pm.
The driver of the Jeep then attempted to evade officers by travelling the wrong way on the A14 for a short distance. The occupants later abandoned the vehicle and ran towards woodland near the Howard Estate in Bury St Edmunds.
Officers pursued the suspects on foot and all four were apprehended.
The men, all aged in their 20s, were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and trespassing and taken to Bury St Edmunds Police Investigation Centre for questioning. Two of the men were also arrested on suspicion of failing to stop when directed and dangerous driving.
The A14 was reopened by 2.10pm.
Police have seized the Jeep and five dogs.
