Two men from Poole have been arrested after a police chase through Dorset.

A skip loader lorry was stolen from a depot at Poundbury just before ten-thirty last night, and was eventually brought to a halt on the A350 near to the Upton bypass - having damaged two police cars along the way.

The driver, a 28 year old man was then arrested, and after further enquiries, so was a 34 year old.
