“Two people were subsequently arrested and remain in police custody at this stage.

“They are a 17-year-old boy from Woking in Surrey, arrested on suspicion of attempted burglary, failing to provide a specimen of breath for analysis, driving with no licence and driving with no insurance, and a 26-year-old man from Epsom in Surrey, arrested on suspicion of failing to stop when requesting to do so by a police officer and attempted burglary.”

Police are appealing for anyone who saw what happened – in particular anyone with CCTV or video footage – to report it online or call 101, quoting Operation Vote.
