TWO men have been arrested after a police chase through Eastleigh town centre. 

Pictures shared online by police show the Mercedes after it was eventually stopped on Wide Lane. 

It came after reports were made of a stolen dumper truck from a site on Stanbridge lane at around 7.30 pm on Tuesday. 

A black Mercedes had been seen acting suspiciously on CCTV at the site earlier that day. 

Then, at around 1.20 pm yesterday, the vehicle was spotted by several cameras on Rownhams Lane and later on cameras in Chandler's Ford and Eastleigh.
