PC Ben Agate said: “I’d like to hear from anyone who has information relating to drivers who may have been using the vehicles at the time.

“These cars were driven dangerously, exceeding the speed limits and going through red traffic lights.

“Both were not insured and I strongly suspected that they were driven by teenagers who do not hold a driving licence.

“Luckily no one was hurt during the pursuit.

“I believe that someone in the local community knows who were driving these vehicles at the time they failed to stop for police.”
