He smashed into three vehicles, traffic lights and a pedestrian was injured.

The pedestrian was taken to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.

Both the driver of the stolen car and his passenger fled the scene.

The driver is described as Caucasian with hair tied back and wearing a hi-visibility top.

His passenger is described as Caucasian with brown hair and a grey top.

In a separate incident, not related to the above, a car hit a pedestrian on Market Street within about 10 minutes of the hit-run.

It had been reported multiple people were hit. Police later revised that number to one.

Nobody required hospital treatment.
