North Yorkshire Police have made two arrests following a pursuit from Harrogate to Leeds.
Just before 11pm last night, officers were about to stop a Ford Focus on Leeds Road in Harrogate, as it had no headlights on.
However, instead of pulling over, the driver made off, and sped along the A61 towards Leeds.
Eventually, just north of Leeds, the car struck a kerb and its tyres deflated.
Pursuing North Yorkshire Police officers were on scene immediately, and a passenger in the vehicle – a 17-year-old boy – was arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle and possession of cannabis.
The driver ran away, but was caught about 30 minutes later, after a police helicopter, drone and dog unit were deployed to track him down.
The 23-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of failing to stop, dangerous driving, drugs driving and theft of a motor vehicle.
