Police arrested three men after a high speed chase from Boroughbridge to York in the early hours of this morning.

North Yorkshire Police was contacted at just after 2am this morning with concerns about a quad bike travelling on the A168 near Boroughbridge.

Officers investigated and said they noticed a Land Rover being driven suspiciously. The vehicle speeded off when police asked the driver to stop.

Police pursued the Land Rover on the A59 towards York while another police unit set up a stinger site on the A1237 at York. A police statement today said:

"All four tyres of the Land Rover were stung but it continued for a short time. It eventually lost control and crashed.
"Police also sighted an Audi in the same area that was acting suspiciously. Officers stopped the Audi and then established that it had been seen with the Land Rover earlier that night.
"The Land Rover was confirmed as stolen from an address along with two quad bikes."
