A Wigan man arrested after a car chase and a rooftop stand-off has pleaded guilty to a series of charges.

Ryan Renshaw, 30, of no fixed address, went before Liverpool Crown Court after being detained on October 4.

His arrest followed a police car chase and an incident during which he took to the roof of a property on Lord Street, Hindley, before being talked down.

Renshaw pleaded guilty to criminal damage to property, burglary of a dwelling and theft, aggravated vehicle taking and dangerous driving, receiving stolen goods, driving while disqualified, using a vehicle without insurance and obstructing a constable in the execution of their duty.

The judge ordered that a second count of criminal damage to property would lie on file.

He will be sentenced at the same court on November 10.
