Two teenage boys have been arrested following a robbery in Chippenham last month.

Emergency services were called to a road traffic collision involving two vehicles in Redland, off Hungerdown Lane, at around 5pm on 14 October.

Wiltshire Police say the driver of the silver Volkswagen Golf was fleeing the scene of a robbery in nearby Brook Street when the crash happened.

At approximately 4.50pm, two males were walking when a vehicle pulled up alongside them and the occupants made threats – demanding one of them hand over his electric scooter.

When he obliged, the Golf made off at high speed. A short time later, the vehicle struck a parked Fiat 500. The four occupants swiftly exited and fled on foot.

Officers have been investigating the robbery and have arrested arrested two 17-year-old males in connection with the incident.

A spokesperson said: “We would like to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the collision, including anyone who may have dash cam or doorbell footage which could assist.

“If you can help, please call 101 and quote crime reference number 54230109208. Alternatively, call CrimeStoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
