On Saturday 5 March 2022 at around 10.30pm, Kent Police patrols spotted a suspicious vehicle and followed it from Park Road. The Suzuki Grand Vitara is reported to have failed to stop and was pursued by the unit until it collided with a tree in Lucks Lane, Chart Sutton.
One man was arrested at the scene, the other was followed on foot through woodland until he was caught and detained. The vehicle was searched and police found cannabis and a kitchen knife. Officers also found half a house brick under the driver’s seat and discovered the car was travelling on a false registration plate.
A 21-year-old man from Birmingham was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, failing to stop, driving without insurance or a licence and whilst under the influence of drugs. An 18-year-old man from Guildford was arrested on suspicion of possession of a bladed article and possession of cannabis. Both have been released pending further investigation.
