PRIORY VALE: A Vauxhall Corsa was taken from the drive of a house after a thief managed to take the keys from the property. Soon after, police spotted the stolen car and pursued it after it failed to stop. It then collided with some "roadside furniture", but no other vehicles were involved.

A 17-year-old Swindon boy was arrested at the scene and was subsequently charged with aggravated vehicle taking. He has been released on unconditional bail and is due to appear at Swindon Magistrates on Tuesday, September 27.
