Arrests follow police pursuit

Two men have been arrested after a vehicle failed to stop for police in Hertford.

Officers were conducting patrols on Wednesday night (8th January) when they spotted a vehicle of interest in the town.

Attempts were made to stop the vehicle, but it made off from officers, with the occupants decamping in Hertford Heath a short time later.

A search was carried out with assistance from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Dog Unit and the National Police Air Service.

Two men from Ware were subsequently arrested:

• A 19-year-old man, on suspicion of burglary, theft of a motor vehicle, failing to stop for police and possession of cannabis.
• An 18-year-old man, on suspicion of burglary, theft of a motor vehicle and failing to stop for police.

Both have been bailed while detectives from the Specialist Investigation Team conduct further enquiries.
