West Mercia Police's Operational Patrol Unit for Shropshire posted about officers in Telford having to work to bring the car to a halt after it failed to stop.

Posting on Twitter, officers said: "We could think of a lot of things that the 'F' in 'F-Type' might stand for...

"This fancy motor failed to stop for our colleagues @TelfordCops.

"We found the vehicle and it was tactically stopped. Driver reported and vehicle seized."

The Jaguar F-Type is a sports car which has a minimum price of £58,725, with the most expensive versions costing more than £102,000.

It can accelerate from 0-60mph in a minimum of 3.5 seconds, and reach a top speed of 186mph.
