Two people were arrested and drugs seized after a 70mph police chase through Leamington.

The pursuit started after police attempted to stop a Subaru Impreza in Church Street on the evening of Friday, December 7.

The vehicle hit speeds of 70 miles per hour in the town's streets as police tried to stop it, but it initially managed to get away.

However, officers remained undeterred and later seized the car in Bridge End, Warwick.

A man and a woman were arrested nearby and cocaine, crack cocaine and amphetamines were seized.

A 31-year-old man from Coventry was arrested on suspicion of possession of class A drugs with intent to supply, failure to stop and dangerous driving.

A 23-year-old woman, also from Coventry, was arrested on suspicion of possession of class A drugs with intent to supply.

Both have been released under investigation while enquiries continue.
