There was drama in Scarborough on Monday night when the driver of a silver BMW 3 Series reversed rammed police cars.
The incident began at 9.36pm near Stepney Hill when the BMW failed to stop for Roads Policing Group officers who were out on patrol in the town.
Information about the vehicle linked to suspicious activity had been called into the Force Control Room earlier in the evening.
When the officers spotted the vehicle on Stepney Hill and attempted to pull it over, the driver immediately reacted and drove off at speed.
On Gladstone Street, the patrol car was reverse rammed before heading off towards the A165 in the direction of Filey.
Several police vehicles were reversed into by the BMW causing minor damage.
However, the suspect car came to a halt in a field near Osgodby at 9.40pm.
With more officers deployed to the scene, the fleeing occupants were quickly arrested and taken into custody for questioning.
The man suspected of driving the car, a 31-year-old from the Bridlington area, has been charged with dangerous driving, failing to stop for the police, driving without insurance and having two rear defective tyres with the cord exposed.
He has been bailed to appear at Scarborough Magistrates’ Court on 17 November at 10am.
A 46-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman from Bridlington, and 30-year-old woman Scarborough, have been released on conditional bail in connection with the investigation.
