Three men were arrested after a house burglary

Three men have been arrested after a burglary, and a police chase that involved a helicopter.

Gloucestershire Constabulary said officers received a call on Saturday afternoon describing a Skoda at a break-in of a house in Didbrook, near Cheltenham.

Police attended, alongside a helicopter from the National Police Air Service, and officers said there was a pursuit of the car, with three men eventually leaving the vehicle when it came to a stop.

One man was arrested after being chased by a police dog, and two others ran into a field, with one hiding in a hedge. The three men aged 18, 19, and 49 are being questioned by police.
