“We located it during the early hours just off the A61 in Sheffield.
“The occupants abandoned it and two of them ran off into the night, leaving their friend trapped in the middle seat!
“One of the runners was detained by one of our athletic officers, and found to be wanted for recall to prison, so with that and the theft of motor vehicle matter they've got a long morning in the cells to look forward to.”
