A police chase involving helicopters across Dartford resulted in a 16-year-old boy being arrested.

Kent Police asked a driver to stop in Highfield Road at 4.04pm on August 4, but instead the vehicle was driven off.

Police chased the vehicle to Phoenix Place where two men got out of the car and ran off.

Helicopters and police swarmed the town to find the two men, with witnesses saying they had “never seen so many” police in Dartford before.

A 16-year-old boy from Dartford was arrested at 5.22pm.

He was subsequently charged with dangerous driving, driving without a licence and driving without third party insurance.

He was remanded in custody to appear at Medway Magistrates’ Court today (August 7).
