Officers were called to Newcastle Lane in Penkhull on Friday night
A pedestrian, who died in a hit and run, has been named by police.
Christopher Deaville, from Stoke-on-Trent, was seriously injured after being struck on Newcastle Lane in Penkhull at 9pm on Friday (14 April).
The force says the driver of the car did not stay at the scene after the collision.
Detectives have since found a black Mini Cooper that had been abandoned in an alleyway near Birks Street.
The car was badly damaged and had been stolen overnight between Wednesday (9 April) and Thursday (10 April) from York Road in Stafford.
CCTV from the area the car was found shows a man and a woman walking nearby at about 9pm the same night (Friday 11 April).
Police say they're keen to speak to them as part of enquiries to find out more about what happened.
