A man has been arrested after a car suspected of being stolen from a burglary in Four Oaks crashed in Birmingham this morning (20 March).
Traffic officers spotted a grey Audi coupe on Eachelhurst Road in Birmingham just after 4.20am. When they signalled for the car to pull over it raced away.
Officers found the vehicle a few minutes later on its side at the junction with Aston Expressway and Tyburn Road.

The road was closed while the stolen car was recovered and was re-opened just before 7.30am.

“The car went out of sight for a short time and when they found it, it was on its side.
“After helping out at the crash, a report came in that the car had been stolen during a burglary in Sutton Coldfield.” The burglary happened on Willmott Road and was reported to police at 4.40am.
