Several other cars were found to have been damaged in the Heathfield Drive and Skipton Crescent areas of Ribbleton, which the police believe is linked to the Mercedes.

At around midnight, a 28-year-old man from Lancaster and a 20-year-old woman from Preston were arrested on suspicion of aggravated vehicle taking.
