POLICE were involved in a dramatic chase on the A19 overnight.

The high-speed pursuit from Mandale and into North Yorkshire involved a Nissan Almera which police discovered contained a man wanted for prison recall and burglary.

"T-PAC tactics were utilised to bring the vehicle to a safe stop with only the vehicles coming off worse for wear," said a Cleveland Police spokesman.

"Both occupants in the vehicle were arrested. The passenger arrested on prison recall.

"The driver was also arrested (on suspicion of) dangerous driving, no insurance and disqualified driving."
