Thieves stole three cars - one after the other - and used them to flee police vehicles this morning, “driving erratically and swerving in and out of lanes” along the Southern Motorway.
A motorist who saw part of the incident said “it looked like a big chase”.
At that stage one of the stolen cars was heading north on the busy motorway, near Bombay.
Police confirmed the incident but said no formal pursuit was initiated.
