The occupants of the car abandoned the vehicle and police dogs were called in to help with the search.

A spokesman for Lancashire Road Police said in a post to Twitter: "Somehow [the occupants] escaped without serious injury over several garden fences.

"Despite the tenacious efforts of our dog patrol disappeared into the night.

"Plenty of Forensics."

Police enquiries are on-going.
