Video shows dramatic police dog chase in Edenbridge

Dramatic footage of a police chase has emerged showing a car being tackled with a stinger before its driver and passenger try to escape capture on foot.

The tense video, shot by a helicopter over Edenbridge, shows officers then race after the teenage motorist before swarming him when he appears to put his hands up.

Another occupant of the vehicle, a silver car, is then seen running away from police through a field before being brought to the ground by a police dog.

The footage comes to an end as a police officer catches up with the dog and arrests the suspect.

Two 17-year-old boys remain in custody after the police chase, following a suspected burglary.

Officers had received reports that a burglary was taking place after they were called to Mount St Aignan Way in Edenbridge at about 10.15pm on Wednesday night.

The video was tweeted by the Kent Police Road Policing Unit this morning.
