Police have arrested two men on suspicion of theft of a car, possession of drugs, going equipped to steal and handling stolen goods following good work by our camera operators.

At around 11.50pm yesterday, Sunday, July 15, our operators had their suspicions about a vehicle and quickly alerted officers believing it to be travelling with fake plates.

Officers located the vehicle and signalled to it to stop without success.

Following a short pursuit, the vehicle was abandoned in Romford Road, Aveley. 

Police detained two men, 24 and 36, following a foot chase and they remain in custody for questioning.
