A car chase involving a vehicle stolen from Welwyn Garden City took place in Harpenden yesterday.

At around 4pm police attempted to stop the car, which led to a pursuit down Station Road and then towards Luton.

The chase was called off for safety reasons after the car started mounting pavements.

Police believe a number of school children from both Sir John Lawes and St George’s schools were recording the chase on their mobile phones.

If any children have video footage of this chase, their parents have been asked to contact tom.perrin@herts.pnn.police.uk
