Three suspects led police on a car chase along residential roads in Gillingham before abandoning the vehicle.

The red Peugeot 206 had allegedly been seen speeding through the Medway Tunnel.

Officers asked the driver to stop in Marlborough Road around 12.35am today, but he refused to do so.

The car eventually came to a stop back in Marlborough Road and the occupants ran off.

An eyewitness said three police cars and an undercover car were involved in the chase on roads near Medway Hospital.

A 19-year-old man from Gillingham, a 17-year-old boy from Snodland and a 25-year-old man from West Malling were arrested nearby.

All three have been released on bail until April 18.
