Two teenagers were arrested in Chippenham earlier this week. 

The first, a 17-year-old boy, was arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle, driving without a licence or insurance, and failing to stop for police.

it came after Chippenham Police responded to a call on Wednesday (June 29) from a member of the public regarding a moped that had earlier been stolen from Chippenham Train Station and was reportedly being driven dangerously through the town.

Officers located the vehicle on Lodge Road.

The driver failed to stop for police and was seen to run into the rear of a property in Sherington Mead.

The boy has since been released under investigation.

A 15-year-old at the same address was also arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class B drugs and was due to appear before court on Thursday.
