ARMED police joined a chase through Coventry and Warwickshire following the theft of three highvalue sports cars.

The cars – believed to include a Ferrari and a Jaguar – were stolen during a burglary in Morton Bagot, in rural south Warwickshire, on Tuesday night.

The suspects were pursed along the M40, A45 and also through Foleshill, Wood End and Henley Green by officers from both Warwickshire Police and West Midlands Police.

Two of the stolen cars were recovered in Coventry – one in Tipton Way, Henley Green, and another near to Allesley Old Road, in Chapelfields.

The third car was recovered in Studley.

“Four people forced entry to a house and a number of items were stolen including thee cars. One was eventually recovered in Studley and two in Coventry. No arrests have been made.”
