FOOTAGE of a high-speed motorway chase in Bromsgrove has been shared by police on social media.
Worcestershire officers pursued a cloned car - a vehicle, often stolen, given a new identity - on the M5 on Sunday afternoon (September 20).
The chase began at Junction 4 of the motorway, near Lydiate Ash, according to officers from OPU (Operations Patrol Unit) Worcestershire.

The video shows the fleeing driver pulling into Frankley Services and seeming to slow down, indicating they were pulling over, only to speed up again and race out of the service station.
The driver showed no care for oncoming traffic with a reckless right turn on to another road but eventually came a cropper as the car collided with a bollard while attempting to go off-road into a park.
Officers arrested one person and took them into custody.
