Police dogs and a helicopter were called in to help apprehend two men after a crash involving a police car.

The search near Swanley was triggered after the incident and the suspects allegedly fleeing from the scene.

At around 8pm on Saturday, November 27 officers responded to a report of a possible stolen vehicle travelling on the A20 Swanley Bypass.

The vehicle reportedly failed to stop for patrols who then used a stinger device in order to stop the car.

Police say the car hit a patrol car and collided with a roadside barrier before making off from officers again.

The driver then abandoned the car and two men ran towards St Paul's Wood Hill, Orpington.

Police Dog Britt and his handler tracked one suspect, with the assistance from the helicopter and located a man hiding in the wood and he was arrested.

Meanwhile Police Dog Biggy picked up the scent of the second suspect and led his handler to a nearby school where they found a man on the roof. He was then also arrested.

Both suspects are in their 20s with one from Orpington and the other from Dartford.

They were arrested on suspicion of theft of a vehicle, dangerous driving, failing to stop for police and criminal damage.

The pair have since been released pending further investigation.
