Police arrested two men after a dramatic high-speed car chase through the centre of Telford.
The men were driving a stolen Vauxhall Corsa, which had been reported missing.

They were followed by the police as they continued the chase along Park Lane in The Rock, Brunel Road in Malinslee and around Malinsgate, close to the town centre.

The drama happened at about 3.15pm yesterday, when roads in the area were busy.
Both men are in their 20s. One remained in police custody today, while the other has been released on police bail.
The car had been taken from outside a house in Kensington Way, Oakengates some time between 8.30pm on Wednesday and 7.30pm on Thursday.
