North Yorkshire Police has arrested a man in his 30s following a pursuit in Knaresborough over the weekend.

According to a police statement issued today, a black Vauxhall Astra failed to stop just before 5pm on Saturday February 3.

The statement added:

"It was sighted driving dangerously; it went on the wrong side of road and even mounted a pavement.
"Officers pursued the vehicle around Scriven, Scotton and Farnham. The man then ran off on foot, but police chased after him and he was detained a short time later."


The man was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, failing to stop for the police and drug driving.

He was interviewed in custody and later released under investigation.

Sergeant Paul Cording who was on roads policing supervision at the time, said:

“I am very grateful that no members of the public were hurt and we have arrested one individual.
“This behaviour on our roads is completely unacceptable and we will continue to be relentless in our approach to targeting drivers who fail to abide by the law.”
