Lancashire Police say the teenager is one of two suspects arrested after a stolen car was spotted in the city in the afternoon.

The force says the stolen car "made off" when signalled to stop, leading to a police chase along Blackpool Road and Waterloo Road.

But the driver was left with nowhere to go after turning into Oswald Road - a dead end off Wellington Road - where he and his passenger were blocked in by police.

The pair were arrested and taken into custody.

Police say the stolen car has since been returned to its owner.

Lancashire Police has been approached for more details.
