Man arrested over '172mph drive'
A motorist has been arrested on suspicion of driving at 172mph on a road in Oxfordshire.
The 33-year-old man was detained by police who had been using a speed gun on a bridge over the main A420 near Abingdon, on Saturday.
The man has been released on police bail until 17 February.
Helphire, a car lease firm in Abingdon, said an employee who had "borrowed" a £98,000 Porsche 911 Turbo without permission had since resigned.
