A man is in custody after being arrested in Bristol on suspicion of stealing a motor vehicle.

Officers pursued the Vauxhall Corsa, with support from the National Police Air Service helicopter, and the vehicle was subsequently abandoned a short distance away.

A person was seen making off on foot through private gardens, but he was soon detained by officers.

He remains in custody and enquiries continue.
