A 20-year-old man was arrested after an e-bike failed to stop for police in Harrogate.

A 20-year-old man from the local area was arrested after an e-bike failed to stop for police and was chased through Harrogate on Sunday at around 10.15pm. Officers on patrol spotted the e-bike on York Place and activated blue lights, but the rider did not stop.

The pursuit took the rider down Granby Road onto a footpath, where he narrowly missed a pedestrian before travelling off-road onto The Stray, adjacent to Skipton Road. Officers continued to pursue the bike off-road until it turned right onto Claro Road.

Whilst attempting to turn onto Ainsty Road, the rider tried to mount the kerb but lost control of the bike and fell off with no injuries sustained. He was arrested on suspicion of failing to stop, dangerous driving, and driving without insurance. A search found him carrying cannabis, and he was arrested for possession of the drug. He remains in custody whilst the investigation continues.
