Yesterday evening (April 15th) police arrested four teenagers, after they attempted to evade arrest by running along an active railway line in Brighton. The suspects, aged 16 and 17, were apprehended following a dramatic chase that involved multiple police units and a National Police Air Service (NPAS) helicopter.
The incident began when a vehicle reported stolen from a residential burglary in the Weald area in March 2023 was identified by officers. Police spotted the stolen vehicle on Coldean Lane, Brighton, and again on Stanford Avenue, where the suspects failed to stop for police.
