The police watchdog's decided to investigate the high speed pursuit in Three Legged Cross which led to the death of 18-year-old Steven Brown last weekend.

The car which the Verwood teenager and a friend were in crashed into the verge on Horton Road in the early hours of Sunday morning, after police chased it because they'd apparently driven off from a petrol station without paying.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission says it'll examine the actions and decisions of teh officers involved.
