A police chase through Hertfordshire resulted in a BMW crash and two teenagers being arrested.
The vehicle was stolen in Welwyn Garden City on October 25 before officers spotted it in Hatfield’s Comet Way, near North Orbital Road, two days later.
At around 6pm police pursued it through the county and into Harrow before it was stopped using “tactical contact”.

Pictures of the scene show six police vehicles behind the BMW – which has a smashed windscreen, damaged bumper, and had come to rest against a bollard.
A Herts Police spokesperson said: “An 18-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle, driving dangerously and failing to stop.
“A 12-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of theft of motor vehicle.
“Both have been released on police bail while enquiries continue.”
It comes after police warned of a spike in high-end car thefts in Hertfordshire – with several caught on camera in recent weeks.
