Police helicopter used in stolen car pursuit

Two men have been arrested following a pursuit by a Police helicopter near Gatwick at 2am on Thursday morning.

The driver of the Range Rover, which had been reported stolen from Battersea, tried to lose the following patrol by setting off at high speed.

Both eventually abandoned the car and carried on by foot near Pycombe, where the passenger was detailed by officers.  The driver who got away was tracked by helicopter and later detained by a Police dog and handler.

The two 18 year olds are in custody.
