TWO people have been arrested after their stolen car crashed into a tree following a police chase in Bradford. 

Roads policing officers were on patrol in Halifax Road at around 1.15am today when they noticed a silver Vauxhall Corsa driving erratically.

The vehicle failed to stop when requested and a short pursuit led to Springfield Avenue, where it crashed into the tree.

The occupants of the vehicle, a 28-year-old man and an 18-year-old woman, were detained at the scene.

The vehicle was found to have been stolen in a robbery in Odsal Road on August 19 and was recovered.

Also found in the vehicle was a quantity of drugs.

Both occupants were arrested on suspicion of robbery and drugs offences.

The man was also arrested for dangerous driving.

The pair are currently in custody while enquiries are continuing.
