A car crashed into a car and a building after failing to stop for officers, which sparked a police manhunt to find the suspects who fled away from the vehicle on foot, and saw the entirety of Whitburn Street closed.

The white Peugeot had been involved in a collision with a car on Bridgnorth High Street and a building on Waterloo Terrace, before being found abandoned in East Castle Street.

The incident, which happened on June 7, is believed to be connected to the theft of a car in Walsall and a later incident when an occupant in the vehicle was seen to be carrying a handgun in the Dudley area.

Police said no arrests have been made in connection with these incidents.
