TWO people have been released by Wiltshire Police after a stolen Mercedes ploughed into Bradford on Avon's historic town bridge.

A 32-year-old woman and a 35-year-old man, who were arrested in connection with the October incident which caused thousands of pounds of damage to the parapet, will face no further police involvement.

However a 22-year-old man is on police bail until the end of the month and they are looking into whether or not another 27-year-old was involved too.

A police spokeswoman said: "The 32 year old female and 35 year old male have been released no further action. The 22-year-old man has been rebailed until end of December and we are seeking CPS advice on the 27-year-old."

Inspector Louis McCoy added: "Officers from the community policing team have carried out a robust investigation in to this incident which was no doubt distressing for the victims."

This all came about when a black Mercedes C180 was stolen and a burglary took place in Leigh Park Road on October 3.

Allegedly the thieves stole the car keys from inside the owner's home, along with a TV, Ipad and laptop and later crashed the car into the town bridge, before abandoning it, but not without causing a four-metre long chunk in the parapet.

If anyone has any information about these incidents call 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
