Officers made a significant discovery after two men tried to run from police after a pursuit came to a sudden stop in Oldham<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A black BMW 1 Series car raised officers’ suspicion when it was seen being driven along Hollins Road at around 9.40am this morning (May 15).<\/p>\n

Police tried to get the driver to pull over, but the vehicle failed to stop.<\/p>\n

Greater Manchester Police<\/a> says a ‘short pursuit’ took place before the car came to an abrupt halt on Birchenlea Street, in Chadderton<\/a>, where the car smashed into a lamppost.<\/p>\n

While searching the car, police recovered a sword. They also recovered cash and class A drugs from the two suspects, who were quickly caught up by officers.<\/p>\n

Debris from the vehicle could be seen on the road, while a damaged lamppost was removed from the area.<\/p>\n

Part of a street sign for Turf Lane also appeared to be damaged, while police tape was used on a cordon following the collision.<\/p>\n
