In the early hours of this morning (Monday 2nd September), Matrix team officers attempted to stop a vehicle on Maldon Road, Middlesbrough, which made off.
Officers believed the vehicle was stolen and the black Toyota MPV was followed to Marton Road where a stinger was used to help bring it to a stop.
The occupants made off from the vehicle, running from officers, but two males were detained a short time later.
A BMW motorcycle was also located at the scene where the Toyota failed to stop and subsequent checks revealed it was also reported stolen from a burglary.
Two men aged 18 and 39 remain in police custody at this time whilst enquiries continue.
