POLICE gave chase to a car through the streets of Bolton late last night.

They began following the Peugeot 207 at around 11am in Manchester Road, then pursued it through the town centre and along St Peter's Way.

Writing on Twitter, a GMP officer said the car "subsequently was abandoned near to Moses Gate where the driver made off on foot."

The vehicle, which police seized, was found to have false registration plates, no insurance and no keeper.
