TWO men have been arrested after their car which was being pursued by officers crashed on Ersham Road last night Thursday (20 April).
Police on patrol came across two suspects in a vehicle fleeing the scene of a shoplifting incident at a store in South Road at around 8.40pm.
Officers attempted to stop the vehicle and, after a short pursuit, found the Peugeot 206 had crashed and was on its side.
A 44-year-old from Bexhill and a 41-year-old from Eastbourne were taken to hospital for treatment for minor injuries.
The 44-year-old was arrested on suspicion of theft, dangerous driving, driving without a licence, driving under the influence of drugs and failing to comply with an order to stop a moving vehicle.
The 41-year-old was summonsed to court in relation to the theft.
