Epsom and Ewell
Two teenagers have been charged with multiple offences following a pursuit in Epsom & Ewell on Saturday 16th March, which involved Surrey and Met Police officers as well as the police helicopter.

The moped was brought to a stop and two people were arrested.
Charlie Tate Butler, 18, of Ewell, and a 17-year-old from Ewell, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, were charged with affray, two counts of possessing a bladed article in a public place, going equipped for theft of a motor vehicle, two counts of possessing criminal property, dangerous driving, failing to stop, driving a motor vehicle otherwise than in accordance with a licence and using a motor vehicle on a road/public place without third party insurance.
 
Both of them appeared at Guildford Magistrates’ Court on Monday 18th March, where Butler was remanded in custody to appear for a plea and trial preparation hearing at Guildford Crown Court on 18 April.
 
The 17-year-old pleaded guilty to all the offences and was released on conditional bail and will be electronically monitored. He will be sentenced at Guildford Magistrates’ Court on 17 April.
