Two men have been arrested after an attempted car theft on Woodlands Drive in Harrogate last night (Tuesday).
Just before midnight, a neighbour reported seeing two masked men wearing balaclavas trying to break into a parked vehicle on the street.
The suspects fled when police sirens were heard approaching, but officers later stopped a nearby van and discovered a blowtorch and a GPS jammer inside.

Both remain in custody for questioning.
