Two Arrested Including 16-Year-Old Boy Following Worthing Car Theft

Two arrests have been made, including a 16 year-old-boy following a car theft in Worthing.

At 6.05pm on Saturday police received reports that an address in Colebrook Close in East Worthing, had been broken into and keys taken to steal a Vauxhall Astra parked outside.

Minutes later the car was spotted by patrolling officers on the A27 at Lyons Farm and failed to stop when signalled to do so.

It drove at speed eastward, turning at one point into Coombes Road at Lancing and then back on to the A27 before being successfully stopped by police units at Devils Dyke Road soon afterwards.

During the incident, several police cars were damaged and a cyclist sustained minor injuries when he jumped to avoid the stolen car which passed him at speed in Coombes Road.

There were no other injuries.

Police say a 38 year old man was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, driving whilst unfit through drink and drugs, driving whilst disqualified, failing to stop for police, and burglary.

A boy aged 16 was also arrested on suspicion of burglary.

Both are currently in custody.
