A motorist found to be in possession of a machete and an amount of cannabis was arrested by traffic cops from Greater Manchester Police after a pursuit around the market town of Ramsbottom.
The suspicious-looking vehicle was initially spotted by police conducting motorway patrols on the M66, after the driver failed to pull over a pursuit continued for several minutes.
It wasn't long until the driver lost control of the vehicle on a roundabout and the police were about to bring the chase to an end. Officers then moved in and apprehended the fleeing motorist.
