A man and woman have been arrested following a police chase involving a helicopter.

A vehicle is reported to have kept driving when police asked the driver to stop Sutton Road, Maidstone at around 3.30am this morning.

Officers tried to stop the car because they believed it was speeding before the chase began.

The National Police Air Service responded with a helicopter to assist officers on the ground.

Eventually, the vehicle came to a stop at the junction of Wallis Avenue and Dudley Close.

A 19-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and theft of a motor vehicle and a 23-year-old man from Maidstone was also arrested on suspicion of taking a motor vehicle without consent.

Both remain in custody as enquiries continue.
