A STOLEN car has been found in a street in Bradford following a police pursuit.

A police officer on patrol saw a red Ford Fiesta driving along Idle Road towards Five Lane Ends at "high speed", according to a post on the West Yorkshire Police - Bradford East Facebook page.

The officer caught up with it and tried to speak to the driver, who then made off at speed.

The post said: "I followed a hunch and found it hidden down a back street in Undercliffe - a check revealed it was stolen from Lancashire a week ago."
