A 62-year-old man jumped into the boot of his car while it was being stolen and was driven three miles across Edinburgh, it has emerged.

Two teenage thieves targeted the Vauxhall Astra while the man was unloading the boot in Lochend Road at 08:40 on Friday 26 October.

The owner jumped inside before the pair drove off at speed up Smokey Brae and along Duddingston Road West.

The vehicle was involved in a number of collisions with other cars.

The man managed to call the police from the boot of his car.
