Two Arrested After Police Use Stinger to Stop Car

Police are appealing for witnesses after a silver VW Golf was seen driving erratically in the Foreshore Road and Marine Drive area of Scarborough.

The incident happened at around 6pm on Saturday 16 April when some of the occupants of the car were seen hanging out of the windows.

They also got out of the car on several occasions and made threats of violence to members of the public.

North Yorkshire Police say officers attempted to stop the car on the A171 near The Flask Inn, but it made off and collided with another car.

Later the same evening, the car was seen in Pickering and was followed to the A64.

The car again made off but it was pursued by officers towards York before being brought to a swift stop by a stinger.

Two men, aged 37 and 23, who were both occupants of the car, were arrested on suspicion of a number of offences. Both men have been released under investigation pending further enquiries.

Officers say:

"We would like to hear from any witnesses who saw the car being driven either on Scarborough seafront, the A171 or A64, and who have not already spoken to us to get in touch.

We'd also like to hear from anyone who has any dashcam footage of the car or anyone who was involved in an altercation with the occupants.

Please email mark.patterson@northyorkshire.police.uk or call 101, press 2 and ask to speak to TC Mark Patterson.

Please quote reference number 12220064380 when providing any info."
