Two arrested after police chase stolen car through Sussex
The vehicle was taken from outside a house in East Worthing
Police made two arrests after pursuing a stolen car from Worthing to Hove on Saturday evening.
Officers received a report at 6.05pm that an address in Colebrook Close in East Worthing had been broken into, and keys taken to steal a Vauxhall Astra parked outside.
Minutes later the car was spotted by patrolling officers on the A27 at Lyons Farm and failed to stop when signalled to do so.
It drove eastward, turning at one point into Coombes Road at Lancing and then back on to the A27 before being successfully stopped by police units at Devils Dyke Road soon afterwards.
During the incident several police cars were damaged and a cyclist sustained minor injuries when he jumped to avoid the stolen car which passed him at speed in Coombes Road.
There were no other injuries.
A man aged 38 was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, driving whilst unfit through drink and drugs, driving whilst disqualified, failing to stop for police, and burglary.
A boy aged 16 was arrested on suspicion of burglary.
Both remained in custody as of Sunday afternoon for interview and further enquiries.
