Two passengers were arrested in the vehicle but the third ran into woodland.
Officers searched the area and a short time later a man was found in the grounds of St John Fisher School.
A search of the vehicle found £505 in cash.
An 18-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of failing to stop for the police, dangerous driving, driving whilst disqualified, theft of a vehicle and being concerned in the supply of a class – A drug.
The other two occupants, an 18-year-old man and a 19-year-old man, were arrested on suspicion of taking a vehicle without consent and being concerned in the supply of a class – A drug.
All three currently remain in police custody.
A police spokesperson said:
“Our sights are firmly focused on intercepting those who think that it’s acceptable to use our road network for criminality, including the distribution of drugs and taking other people’s property.
“As usual, we will be back out in force across the 6,000 miles of roads, relentlessly looking to disrupt criminal activity.”
