A pair of police dogs led officers to two suspects, one hidden on a roof, after they fled on foot in Orpington following a car chase.

Officers responded to a report of a possible stolen vehicle travelling on the A20 Swanley bypass at around 8pm on Saturday, November 27.

The driver failed to stop for patrols, despite officers deploying a stringer device, before reportedly hitting a police car and colliding with a roadside barrier.

The two occupants subsequently abandoned the car, running towards St Pauls Wood Hill, Orpington.

Police dog Britt and his handler tracked one suspect, with the assistance from the police helicopter, finding him hiding in the wood. He was arrested.

Meanwhile, police dog Biggy picked up the scent of a second suspect, leading his handler to a nearby school where they found a man on the roof. He was also arrested.

The men, both in their twenties, are from Orpington and Dartford.

They were arrested on suspicion of theft of a vehicle, dangerous driving, failing to stop for police and criminal damage.

The pair have since been released pending further investigation.
