Adobe StockA teenager has been arrested after a stolen car led police on a chase through Aberdeen before crashing.
A white Suzuki Swift was reported as stolen from the Springhill Terrace area around 7.45am on Friday.
The car, which had its back window smashed, was then driven throughout Aberdeen in an erratic manner at high speed.
