Dyfed-Powys Police said officers were called to Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, at 00:15 BST on Tuesday after reports of power tools being taken from a van. Two suspects were identified, but fled from police and the force said a "high-speed pursuit" ensued. During the chase, a white Peugeot van crashed in Newtown, Powys, and a man, 18, from Coventry and a 17-year-old from Tottenham were arrested. The pair were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage, dangerous driving, failing to stop for police officers and theft.
