A high-speed car chase ended when the pursued vehicle crashed near Whitmore High School in west Harrow.

A police car began to follow a black BMW in Kenton Lane, Harrow, at 3.55pm after officers were called to an alleged burglary in progress in Queens Court in Kenton Lane while the occupier was still at home.

The BMW ultimately crashed into a white Audi in Treve Avenue at its junction with Whitmore Road.

Dog units were seen searching along Butler Road  and two men were arrested at the junction of Drury Road and Sumner Road and taken to a north-west London police station.

Only last week, a police car was damaged when a stolen car it was pursuing reversed into it before driving away.
