A teenage car thief has been jailed for two years after he led officers on a high speed chase in a stolen Mercedes, driving up to 120 miles-per-hour, which was captured on dash cam.
Tyrone Worsley, 18, of Tonge Moor, Bolton, spent ten minutes attempted to lose a patrol car which was tailing him.
Footage of the chase showed Worsley jumping red lights, travelling on the wrong side of the road and narrowly avoiding a woman pushing a pram before abandoning the car at a Tesco supermarket.
