A man has appeared in court facing a string of charges after a 15-mile police chase from Aberdeen to Stonehaven.
Officers launched the pursuit after a car failed to stop when signalled by police on Aberdeen’s West North Street at around 9.50pm on Thursday, August 5.
Karim Sery has now appeared in private at Aberdeen Sheriff Court in connection with the matter.
The 30-year-old faced a total of six charges, including dangerous driving and culpable and reckless conduct.
