A man has been arrested after leading traffic officers in a chase around Halesowen before crashing into parked cars and then trying to flee on foot.
Traffic officers from West Midlands Police spotted a Ford Focus ST, which they found was cloned and stolen, at around 12pm on Saturday.

However, the driver then lost control and crashed in a parked Volkswagen Passat, before attempted to run away through gardens.
Officers caught and subsequently apprehended the man, who was arrested.
A spokesman for West Midlands Police tweeted: "We saw this cloned & stolen Ford Focus ST before the driver (who later turned out to be wanted x3) tried to outrun our bikers & a Traffic car.
"His skills were lacking so he crashed into parked cars in Halesowen before trying a bit of garden hopping, but it all ended with handcuffs."
