The country roads around Hunmanby were "turned in to a racetrack" on Saturday night as a vehicle failed to stop for North Yorkshire's Roads Policing Team.
At just after 11pm, what should have been a routine traffic stop, turned into a 10 minute pursuit through the frosty country roads between around the Hunmanby and Muston area.
Officers say:
"It started when a VW Golf was sighted by Traffic Seargant Patterson in Hunmanby. A vehicle check was conducted over the radio which resulted in a report that the Golf was lacking some documents.
As the sarge activated the blues & twos, the 17-year-old driver decided not to stop.
The pursuit was authorised by the control room and with other traffic officers in the area making their way, TS Patterson stuck to the Golf, which eventually slowed and was then boxed in by the Roads Policing Team."
The driver from Hunmanby, was arrested at the roadside and later charged with:
- Dangerous driving
- Failing to stop
- Using a vehicle without Insurance, and
- Driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence
The driver has been bailed to attend Scarborough Youth Magistrates Court on 4th March 2025.
