TWO suspects were arrested after police pursued men who fled from a stolen car in Prescot in the early hours of today (Friday, December 13).

A Peugeot 108 was spotted with its lights out by officers on Prescot Park Way towards Carr Lane at 2.50am, but did not stop when officers signalled for it to pull over.

The car came to a stop soon after and three men got out and ran into a nearby field.

Officers then gave chase on foot in the fields close to Coronation Drive, apprehending two men.

The car had been stolen during a burglary on Dennett Road earlier this morning.

A 28-year-old man of no fixed address was arrested on suspicion of burglary, theft of a motor vehicle, driving while disqualified, driving without insurance, failure to stop, and drug driving.

A 36-year-old man from Fazakerley were arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle and burglary.

They have been taken to a police station to be interviewed.
