TWO teenagers have been arrested after a police pursuit travelled through several towns across the borough.
Greater Manchester Police said officers responded to reports of a vehicle being stolen from an address on Darlington Street, Wigan, on October 28.
The vehicle was later spotted on Warrington Lane.
Officers pursued it through Wigan, Ince, Hindley Green and Atherton.
The chase eventually came to an end in Tyldesley.
The two occupants then fled the vehicle on foot, sparking a chase involving police officers, the National Police Air Service (NPAS) and the force's Tactical Dog Unit.
A 17-year-old boy, who officers say was driving the vehicle, was arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle, dangerous driving and failing to stop.
