A Bolton man has stripped naked and hidden in a bath in a bid to fool cops after a high-speed car chase.

The chase took place in the town of Bolton at around 11.25pm on 23rd November when the police noticed a stolen Nissan car with cloned number plates.

The Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said: “During a routine patrol in Bolton on Tuesday 23 November 2021 at around 11.25pm police spotted a suspected stolen red Nissan Quashqai with cloned number plates.”

The court heard how police officers tried to follow the vehicle after the driver sped off, jumping red lights and even driving on the opposite side of the road.

The police said: “Over the next seven minutes, the vehicle drove dangerously at speed, driving on the wrong side of the road and driving through red lights. The driver eventually fled from the vehicle after police boxed him in.”

The suspect, identified as 26-year-old Ryan Stephen Hall of Tabley Road, ran inside a nearby property, stripped naked, and hid in the bathtub in a bid to fool arresting officers.

Meanwhile, the Nissan Qashqai was later confirmed to have been stolen in Salford on 1st October.
