Bodycam captures cops on ‘Hot Fuzz’ chase over fences after thief
Police said officers chased the suspect over fences before making the arrest, a pursuit captured on bodycam and described as movie-like.
- Following a fence-hopping chase, police arrested prolific offender Sean McFetridge. He had attempted to evade capture by fleeing through a window, leading officers on a pursuit before his eventual apprehension.
- The incident began when officers pursued McFetridge over a suspected theft of meat from a shop. Instead of cooperating with law enforcement, he chose to flee the confrontation entirely.
- Citizen assistance allowed responding officers to complete the apprehension at a nearby house. The suspect had been restrained by a member of the public, which facilitated the final arrest.
- At Medway Magistrates' Court, McFetridge received an eight-week prison sentence after pleading guilty to two counts of theft and criminal damage. He appeared before the court following his weekend arrest.
- Inspector Zara McAinley of Maidstone commended the officers' quick thinking, noting the arrest demonstrates the force's ongoing commitment to keeping members of the public safe from criminal activity.
