Police used a stinger device to stop a car following a six-mile chase, deflating all four of its tyres.
South Wales Police intercepted the car in Birchgrove Road in Swansea after the driver failed to stop just after midnight.
Morriston -based officers had pursued the car all the way from Clydach to the St Thomas area.
Stingers are spiked devices that can be placed on a road to puncture the tyres of a vehicle, causing it to stop.
