A getaway car smashed into a Croydon building this morning after a police chase.

Police requested a vehicle to stop on Coomber Way at around 11.30am.

The car refused, speeding away. A pursuit was authorised and officers began chase.

The fleeing suspect crashed into a roundabout and through a window of a business, which is thought to be a tile showroom on Beddington Lane.

The driver was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and failed to stop for police.

He was treated by LAS at the scene for minor injuries before being taken into custody.

No other injuries were reported.
