TWO men have been arrested and £20,000 of heroin seized following a police chase.
At 6.10pm on Saturday, a patrol car from Cleveland Police's traffic unit attempted to stop a Mitsubishi on the A19.
The vehicle, with two men inside, failed to stop and attempted to evade police.
Three police vehicles were damaged during the pursuit, which ended when the Mitsubishi crashed into the central reservation while attempting to rejoin the A19 from the A174 roundabout.
A 32-year-old, from Hartlepool, and a 37-year-old, from Billingham, were arrested.
They were being interviewed yesterday on suspicion of drug offences and dangerous driving.
