TWO teenagers were being questioned last night after five police cars were damaged in a high-speed chase.

Police in Catterick, North Yorkshire, started following a suspected stolen car at about 3pm on Wednesday.

The car crossed into County Durham and traffic police from Darlington took over the chase, which lasted for more than an hour.

Eventually, because of concern for public safety, police forced the car to a halt in Parkgate, Darlington, and arrested two youths on suspicion of aggravated vehicle taking.
