A 31-year-old motorist was arrested after ‘ploughing into a wall’ near David Beckham’s country home in Great Tew.

Thames Valley Police (TVP) has confirmed the driver was arrested on suspicion of drink driving offences and failing to stop.

It is understood the incident happened close to Soho Farmhouse and Maplewood Barn (David and Victorian Beckham’s property) late on Saturday. Reports say a wall was damaged and the Land Rover, which was carrying male and female passengers, had to be recovered early on Sunday.
