Two arrested after 90mph late-night car chase through Lytham town centre

Around 11.30pm yesterday (Thursday, March 5) a suspected stolen vehicle was seen by officers on Blackpool Road, close to the Blossoms pub.

The car sped towards Lytham, travelling through the town centre and onto Warton Street at speeds of close to 90mph.

Officers gave chase onto Dock Road, where the suspected stolen car was used to ram a patrol car and drive off from the scene.

A short time later, it was found abandoned at the junction of Woodlands Road and Clifton Drive following a collision with the pelican crossing.

Police attended the scene and two people were apprehended after a short search.

A 29-year-old man and 33-year-old woman, both of no fixed address, were arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle and are in custody.
