Police in Harrogate arrest 19-year-old man on suspicion of possession of Class-B drugs
Roads policing officers stopped a vehicle in Harrogate town centre on Tuesday evening (October 22) after it failed to stop for police.
The vehicle had previously made off from district officers before the roads policing team sighted it near the Stray and boxed it in at the Empress roundabout.
Two occupants were in the car, and a quantity of what is suspected to be a Class-B drug was discovered on one of the men.
A 19-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession of a Class-B drug. He currently remains in police custody.
Officers searched the other man and carried out a drugs wipe but this produced a negative result and he was free to go.
Roads Policing Sergeant, Ben Prosser-Waite, from North Yorkshire Police said: “We’re relentless in our pursuit of those suspected as being involved in serious and organised crime in North Yorkshire.
“It is vital that members of the public come forward with information so we can be swift in our response.”
