    A large number of North Yorkshire Police cars descended on a village near Ripon to intercept a convoy of suspected stolen vehicles.

    According to police, patrol vehicles acting on information received spotted three vehicles travelling along the A19 and A168 southbound near Thirsk.

    The three vehicles — a Nissan Navara, a Range Rover Sport and a Mercedes van carrying two Land Rovers — were then stopped by officers in Sharow, near Ripon.

    A police statement said:

    "Officers checked the vehicle identification numbers of all the vehicles and several were suspected to be fake.
    "Three people, two men and a woman, all in their 30s and from the Cleveland area, were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to steal motor vehicles. The woman was further arrested on suspicion of driving whilst disqualified. They remain in custody at this time.
    "All of the vehicles were seized and taken to a secure location for forensic searches and further enquiries."


    A Sharow resident who witnessed the police operation,  said he had never seen so many police vehicles in the village.

    The villager, who asked not to be named, said he noticed eight police patrol cars.
