A lad stole a couple's car then drove the wrong way down the M56 while being chased by police. Dashcam footage from the cops captured Cailen Smith, 22, parked up with the lights on moments after he stole the Ford Mondeo off the drive of the victims' house in Gatley.

As they drew closer he sped off, going through red lights and failing to stop despite warnings from police. At one stage he drove onto a public footpath before driving onto the contraflow and hard shoulder of the M56.

Smith, of Stanley Street, Cheetham Hill, eventually got out and ran along the hard shoulder before he was finally caught.
