TWO people have been arrested on suspicion of robbery and drug offences following a short car chase with police through the village of Pontlottyn. 

While out on patrol last weekend, officers spotted a stolen vehicle with false number plates and pursued it through the village in Caerphilly county borough. 

Following a short pursuit, the vehicle was stopped and the occupants were arrested on suspicion of robbery and drug offences.

The car was stopped on the A469 near Rhymney.
