Three teenagers have been arrested after police found them hiding in the woods following a late night chase.
The youths - aged 14, 15 and 16 - were arrested over road traffic offences after a vehicle was traced in Houston, Renfrewshire, on Saturday.
Search crews including helicopters and police dogs were deployed to trace the suspects.
They were eventually found hiding in the woods after an 'indistinct shape' detected from above turned out to be them.
Local officers were then sent to their location where they made the arrests.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Three male youths, aged 16, 15 and 14, have been charged with road traffic offences after a vehicle was traced in the Houston area of Renfrewshire during the evening of Saturday, 19 February.
“Reports will be submitted to the relevant authority.”
