Car thief leads police on 100mph chase before being arrested in Manchester

Greater Manchester Police have released bodycam footage of the moment officers arrested a car thief after a 100mph chase through the streets of Salford.

Matthew Towler, 41, led officers on a 15-minute high-speed pursuit in a stolen vehicle last November, dangerously swerving onto the wrong side of the road, clocking 90mph in 20mph zones.

He eventually clipped a kerb and came to a stop, where police found him with 15 car keys, a lock pick and a device for cloning more keys.

Towler has since been sentenced to 30 months in prison.
