Four arrested after high-speed police chase in North Yorkshire

The men, one aged 30 and three aged 18, were arrested on suspicion of “going equipped to steal, and theft from a vehicle”, according to police.

Officers became involved in a chase when they spotted a suspicious vehicle in Scruton, Northallerton, shortly before 1am. The vehicle failed to stop when prompted, resulting in a pursuit along the A64 and onto the A19.

The vehicle, a beige Volvo V40, reached speed in excess of 100mph during the pursuit.

Officers from North Yorkshire Police called in the assistance of Cleveland Police before the vehicle was brought to a halt on the A19 near Crathorne around 20 minutes later.

All four men have been released by police “under investigation”, while enquiries continue.
