Two teenagers arrested after cars damaged in Corby

Police investigating damage caused to vehicles at a recreation ground off Corby’s Burghley Drive on the evening of Wednesday, September 18, have made two arrests.

Following a report to Northamptonshire Police on Friday, September 20, regarding a red moped being driven erratically in the town, officers were deployed to look for it.

Officers located it in the Bridge Court/Rockingham Road area at about 1.30pm and despite the rider’s attempt to escape he was arrested after the moped collided with a white Nissan Qashqai car. The occupants of the Nissan Qashqai were not injured.

The 17-year-old Corby boy, believed to be the rider, was arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage to three vehicles in relation to the incident on Wednesday. He has since been released under investigation in connection with the criminal damage offences.

However, the boy was charged with driving while disqualified, driving without due care and attention, and driving without third party insurance in relation to Friday’s incident. He has been bailed to appear before Wellingborough Youth Court on October 15.

A second 17-year-old Corby boy, suspected to be the pillion passenger when damage was caused to vehicles on Burghley Drive, was subsequently arrested at about 2.50pm yesterday (Saturday, September 21). He has since been released under investigation.

Investigations into the incident on Wednesday evening continue and anyone with information about it is asked to call Northamptonshire Police on 101, or Crimestoppers in confidence on 0800 555111.
