A DRUNK driver has been arrested following a 'brief' police chase during the early hours of Friday morning.

A spokesman for the South Flintshire policing team confirmed the driver was arrested in the Mold area.

In a social media post they wrote: "Driver arrested tonight after a brief pursuit. They decided it was a good idea to speed off and not stop. It wasn’t a big shock to learn the driver was drunk and when he ran from the car must’ve been feeling the effects as he didn’t get very far!

"Arrested for drink driving, careless driving and for failing to stop."
