A London man is among two arrested after a stolen vehicle crashed into a hydro pole prompting a foot chase with police near Dorchester.

OPP say two men broke into a home on Yorke Line in Malahide Township around 8:40am on Monday. They got an undetermined amount of property and took off in a red SUV.

The vehicle was spotted by police shortly after on Dorchester Rd. Police tried to pull the vehicle over but it kept going, rear-ending another vehicle before crashing into a hydro pole.

Police say two men ran from the vehicle following the crash.

With the help of the OPP Canine unit, a 52-year-old London man and a 24-year-old Goderich man were arrested after a foot chase along the Thames River.

They will appear in London court Tuesday.
