A driver has been arrested in Bolton after driving away from police.

Officers spotted a Kia Stonic in Schofield Lane in Atherton.

The driver lost control of the vehicle and police requested the vehicle to pull over, but it failed to do so.

The car drove off and was pursed by officers before coming to a stop on Wigan Road in Westhoughton.

Following this the driver failed a drugs test and was found to only have a provisional licence to be behind the wheel.

GMP Traffic confirmed on social media that the car in question had been seized by officers and the motorist had been arrested.
