Officers stopped the car and police dog, Rhun, chased a suspect.

Four people have been arrested after a police chase was brought to a halt by a stinger at Pannal, near Harrogate.

North Yorkshire Police said in a statement today that a vehicle, which was thought to be linked to drugs, was seen on the A61 near Harewood just after 5pm on Monday (October 21).

The statement said an officer attempted to stop it, but the driver fled and threw items out of the window. These were later recovered.

A stinger was set up further along the road, while more officers closed in and forced the driver to stop at the Buttersyke Bar roundabout.

The force said a hammer was found in the vehicle, adding:

Four occupants were involved, two were arrested with the vehicle but the other two fled.

Officers put a containment on the area. Our police dog Rhun and his handler raced across the A61 at a rate of knots and jumped through a hedge into a field to apprehend the third suspect.

The fourth was located by officers who gave chase on foot in a different direction.

A boy, 16, was arrested on suspicion of resisting arrest, possession with intent to supply a class A drug, possession with intent to supply a class B drug and possession of an offensive weapon in a public place.

An 18-year-old was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a class A drug and a class B drug, as well as possession of an offensive weapon in a public place.

Another man, aged 21, was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a class A drug, possession with intent to supply a class B drug and also possession of an offensive weapon in a public place.

Finally, a 23-year-old was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a class A drug, possession with intent to supply a class B drug, possession of an offensive weapon in a public place, theft, driving with no insurance and failing to stop for the police.

All four of them were released on conditional bail as police continue their investigation.
