A stolen Jaguar was the first car followed by officers but because of the speed at which it was travelling, officers withdrew to reduce the risk to members of the public.

A police helicopter was used to track the car, which eventually crashed into another vehicle in Intake.

The driver and passenger were both arrested for burglary.

The second car tracked from the sky, a Peugeot, went off-road before the driver and two passengers were arrested for burglary.
