Main article content
A motorist is in custody after a pursuit near Scarborough overnight.
Just after midnight, in the early hours of this morning, North Yorkshire Police officers spotted a silver Peugeot 207 car being driven erratically, at high speed, and swerving between lanes, on the A64 eastbound near Rillington.
The vehicle failed to stop, and was driven on towards Scarborough, with police in pursuit. After about ten minutes, it clipped a kerb and came to a halt at Musham Bank.
The driver, a man in his 20s, was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, failing to stop, drink driving, and possession of class C drugs. He remains in custody at this time.
