Two men have been arrested following ram-raids in Surrey, police say.

Footage shared by Surrey Police on social media showed two police vehicles blocking in a car on Cobham High Street on Wednesday night, with one officer heard saying: "Smash it, smash it".

The force said just 20 minutes earlier a car had "reversed into a string of high street businesses" and a person entered a shop and left with a till.

A 31-year-old from Ottershaw was arrested on suspicion of burglary and failing to do a breath test, and a 34-year-old from Staines was arrested on suspicion of burglary, police added.

Surrey Police says its investigation into the incident remains ongoing.
