A Friday night police chase has ended with two men being arrested on suspicion of drugs and driving offences.

Officers in Blackburn had been following a Silver BMW 325 through the Audley area of the town early on Friday evening before the occupants stopped the car, exited the vehicle and ran off.

After a short chase on foot, the police caught up with the two men and found them to be in possession of a large quantity of cash and suspected drugs.

The men were subsequently arrested.

A spokesperson for the police said: "The Silver BMW was also displaying false plates and was being driven by a non-licence holder and without insurance.

"We will now be conducting a number of address searches to look for further evidence of drug dealing."
