A car has flipped onto its roof following a police chase in Peterhead.
The crash happened just outside the West End Butcher shop along West Road and involved several cars, one of which ended up on its roof.
The crash occurred at 4.15pm, with the road closed while police work in the area.
A driver failed to stop for local officers and then collided with nearby parked cars.
A 17-year-old male then tried to make a getaway on foot but was apprehended shortly after.
Emergency services were deployed to the scene including fire, who sent one appliance from Peterhead, as crews disconnected the car’s battery.

The crash between multiple cars occurred outside a local Peterhead butcher.
A spokesperson for the West End Butcher, speaking to the Press and Journal, said: “I didn’t see much of it since we were working in the shop.
“But the crash happened right outside the butcher and there is a car which has flipped on to its roof.
