THREE men were arrested in Bradford on suspicion of possession of cannabis after a short pursuit by police.

Officers tried to stop a vehicle in the Bowling area of the city on Saturday night, but the driver refused to pull over and drove off into some back streets.

Police soon cornered the car and found the occupants in possession of what officers said was a substantial amount of money and what they believed to be cannabis.

A Bradford District police spokesman said: "The local knowledge of our colleagues, along with their skills as roads policing officers, has yet again been successful."

All three arrested men were taken to Trafalgar House police station for questioning and released on bail while police continue the investigation.
