A 15-year-old boy has been arrested following an incident last night in which a stolen car smashed into parked vehicles.

The Suzuki Swift was taken from Nashville Terrace, in the Fell Lane area of Keighley, at 11pm and crashed about 10 minutes later in nearby Clifton Street.

Two people fled from the scene and the boy, from Braithwaite, was arrested soon afterwards on suspicion of burglary. He is currently in police custody.
