Two men have been arrested after a stolen car crashed into a police pursuit vehicle in Maidstone.

The car was taken from Ashford Road at around 8.30pm last night and later spotted by police in London Road heading towards the town centre.

It allegedly failed to stop when ordered to, sparking a chase which ended when the vehicle crashed into a police car and another parked car in Farleigh Lane.

Witnesses reported the road being closed while officers pursued a man on foot from the scene.

Two Maidstone men aged 30 and 52 have been arrested for theft of a vehicle and theft from a vehicle.

They remain in custody.
