A MAN has been arrested after he was chased through two counties by police following reports of a burglary at an Oxfordshire Co-Op.

Thames Valley Police said a 20-year-old from Cheltenham is in custody after a pursuit involving officers from TVP, Gloucestershire Police and a police helicopter.

This morning an ATM was seen lying on the side of the road outside the Co-Op in Couching Street, Watlington, surrounded by a police cordon.

The incident took place in the early hours of Thursday morning when the store was closed.
