A 45-year-old man has been arrested following a police pursuit in Holywell that ended in a crash.

The incident began shortly before 8am today (January 31) when North Wales Police received a report of an incident at an address in the town.

A man left the scene in a vehicle that had been reported as taken without consent and later failed to stop for officers from the Roads Crime Unit.
