THREE men were arrested after a high-speed car pursuit which ended in Kearsley.

A Nissan Micra car refused to stop at 2.20am on Saturday after a patrolling police car indicated for the driver to pull over.

The marked police car followed the Micra with its siren and flashing lights in Bury New Road, towards Prestwich, on to junction 17 of the M60 at Prestwich and along the A666 through Clifton.

The pursuit continued towards Bolton until the Micra reached a dead end at an industrial unit in Green Lane, Kearsley.

When the driver of the Micra tried to turn around, he collided with a police car, causing minor damage. No-one was injured in the collision.

The three men in the car were arrested on suspicion of taking a vehicle without the owner's consent and released on police bail.THREE men were arrested after a high-speed car pursuit which ended in Kearsley.
