Four arrested after joyriding smash in Slaithwaite
CAR THIEVES abandoned a car after smashing it into a shop.
They fled after crashing the Ford Mondeo, which was reported to have been stolen from Linthwaite a day earlier.
It hit two parked cars then The Hardware Company shop at Britannia Road, Slaithwaite.
The force of the collision was enough to dislodge a street sign, two large stone steps and a metal handrail.
Mel Roberts, who runs the neighbouring book shop, was still at work when the incident happened shortly after 10.30pm on Thursday.
