Two men are in custody after a pursuit ended in Swindon this afternoon (30 June).
Avon and Somerset Police were initially chasing a stolen grey SEAT along the M4 eastbound – when the vehicle entered Wiltshire and local officers joined the pursuit.
The driver then left the motorway at Junction 16 and entered Swindon at around 2.30pm, travelling the wrong way down Great Western Way in a bid to get away.
The vehicle was eventually stopped near Blagrove Roundabout and two male occupants were arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle.
The driver was also arrested for other offences – including dangerous driving.
Both males have been transported to Gablecross custody, where they remain.
A recovery vehicle arrived at the scene shortly before 3.30pm.
