POLICE found weapons and drug paraphernalia in a suspected stolen car after the driver crashed it and fled with passengers.

The Mini Countryman was thought to have been taken in a burglary at Haworth on Tuesday.

Yesterday, police followed the vehicle after the driver failed to stop in Bingley.

Officers spotted the car in Sheriff Lane at about 2.30pm and followed it towards East Morton, where it crashed into railings by Graincliffe Reservoir.

Three men ran away, but were found and detained in a wooded area a short time later.

The vehicle was also recovered.

Three men from Bradford, one aged 18 and the other two 19, were arrested on suspicion of burglary. Two were later bailed pending further inquiries.

Inquiries are continuing today.
