Officers had spotted the suspected stolen vehicle driving on Hermitage Lane in Maidstone and when they told the driver to stop they failed to do so.

During the pursuit, the vehicle collided with a patrol car before it stopped in Red Hill, Wateringbury.

A subsequent search led to the seizure of tools and suspected stolen number plates.

This incident happened at around 10.20pm on Tuesday, March 26.

The two boys are from the Maidstone area and were arrested on suspicion of offences including theft of a motor vehicle.

Both have since been bailed until 15 July, pending further enquiries.
