The pair were pulled over on Northern Parade after failing to stop for police.

A spokesman for Hampshire Constabulary said: ‘At around 12.45am today, July 3, patrolling officers attempted to stop a black astra on Allaway Avenue, Paulsgrove, after the vehicle was flagged as having no insurance.

‘The vehicle failed to stop for police and officers pursued the vehicle into Portsmouth. Additional officers were deployed to assist and the vehicle was boxed in and stopped on Northern Parade, Portsmouth.’

They both remain in custody at this time.
