However, the duo are still likely to end up before magistrates as they are accused of a number of driving offences.

The arrests were publicised on social media by the Golborne and Lowton neighbourhood policing team.

Anyone who witnesses a crime should call police on 101 or ring independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111. In serious emergencies, use 999.
