Ten people have been arrested following the death of a police officer who was dragged some distance by a car involved in a reported burglary in Berkshire.

Pc Andrew Harper, a traffic officer, and a fellow policeman had been called to the burglary on Thursday night before the "serious incident" about 11.30pm near the A4, Bath Road, between Reading and Newbury.

Pc Harper, 28, was struck by a car and then dragged by the vehicle for some distance before being hit by another car.

Thames Valley Police said 10 boys and men aged between 13 and 30 were arrested on suspicion of murder "within an hour or so" of the incident, and remain in custody at various police stations in the force area.

Pc Harper had been a regular police officer since 2011, and married his fiancee, Lissie, just four weeks before he was killed.
