Police were led on a 50 mile chase in pursuit of a stolen motorbike.
The vehicle was sighted near Upton Police Station, in Birkenhead, on Thursday, May 26, and followed by the National Police Air Service until it was abandoned in Swinton, Greater Manchester. The chase came as part of a day of action by Merseyside Police, with nine people from one estate arrested as part of Operation Presley.
Police targeted criminals, as well as seizing drugs and weapons, on the Woodchurch estate. Over the course of the day and evening, the community policing team and Matrix officers carried out the proactive operation to disrupt criminality and protect those living in the area.
