Stolen BMW ploughs into police car before dumped at Stoke-on-Trent retail park
A fleeing BMW ploughed into a police car during a chase through the Potteries. The car was eventually dumped on a track just off Longton's Phoenix Park.
Now police say an investigation is underway 'with plenty of forensics left behind'. The red BMW 1 Series was said to have been stolen overnight, with the keys, in Stoke-on-Trent.
However on being spotted it failed to stop for police. It then smashed into one of the force's unmarked cars - leaving dents and scrapes all down the side.

Witnesses are asked to call Staffordshire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
