Two males have been arrested by officers from West Midlands Police for failing to stop for the police and for causing damage to several vehicles in Birmingham.

A red VW Golf was spotted on the Bristol Road just after 11.30 am yesterday (21 Feb) after being involved in a road rage incident in Selly Oak where the suspects used various weapons to damage cars.

The car failed to stop for police and was initially pursued, but specially trained pursuit drivers abandoned the pursuit after the Golf travelled the wrong way down a dual carriageway.

Officers received additional information from members of the public confirming that more cars were damaged as the passenger struck them with a baseball bat as they travelled along Mary Vale Road.

The red Golf GTi was spotted two hours later on Golden Hillock Road. Officers indicated for it to stop, but it failed to do so.

The car continued to be driven dangerously and crashed into street furniture after the driver lost control.

The two occupants attempted to make off on foot but were detained by officers, who also found weapons, including a bat and a shovel, in the car.

The males, aged 24 and 27, remain in custody on suspicion of dangerous driving, criminal damage, failing to stop for police, disqualified driving and possession of offensive weapons.

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.
