A gang led police on a dramatic chase through the streets of west London after a cash machine ram raid at a hotel.
The drama unfolded after the men ripped out an ATM from the lobby of the hotel in Hounslow before speeding away in two cars in the early hours of today.
Police raced to the scene in Bath Road after being called to reports of a robbery at about 1am.
Officers attended and found the cash machine had been stolen from the hotel after the suspects had driven into the area and extracted the machine.
The suspect vehicles were traced by police a short distance away in Harmondsworth and officers set off in pursuit.
But one of the cars collided with a marked police vehicle in Bath Road, leaving two officers with minor injuries.
The crash forced the raiders to abandoned one of the vehicles, which contained the ATM, and they sped off in the other car.
The men lead police in a further pursuit to Ashford, Surrey where the car stopped and the suspects got out and ran off.
Two men were caught and arrested on suspicion of robbery and remain in custody at west London police stations.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: “Enquiries are continuing to trace all the suspects involved. The Met's Flying Squad and officers from Hounslow are investigating.”
“There are no reported injuries to any members of the public as a result of this incident.”
Anyone with information concerning this incident is urged to contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
