Three people have been arrested after a getaway driver flipped a stolen car onto its roof during a police chase then tried to hide inside in a house.
Police spotted the suspected stolen vehicle in the Wythenshawe area on Sunday evening (December 29).
The driver of the white Citroen tried to escape from officers and attempted to 'ram his way out' of a street.
But the car - which had been allegedly stolen from Stockport - was flipped over onto its roof.
The male then ran off to a nearby address but officers followed, and inside they found him, a female and a wanted male hiding upstairs.
All three suspects were arrested for a variety of offences.
They include burglary, dangerous driving, aggravated vehicle taking, handling stolen goods, possession of a bladed article, breach of bail, failing to appear, theft of a motor vehicle and assisting an offender.
The two males and the female remain in custody for questioning.
In a post on the GMP Wythenshawe Facebook page, police said: "An outstanding stolen vehicle from the Stockport area located last night by the #ProblemSolvingTeam.
