    Two people have been arrested following a police chase on the A64 in North Yorkshire.

    Police said the pair were originally arrested after a disturbance at the Crow's Nest caravan park near Gristhorpe, Filey on Sunday, but the man, 29, and woman, 31, fled the scene in a grey Vauxhall Astra.

    A number of attempts to stop the car were made, before the car was eventually stopped at Scampston and the pair were detained.

    Officers say further attempts had been made to stop the Astra using a stinger device near Potter Brompton, but it continued along the A64 driving at speed.

    At one point, near West Heslerton, the vehicle stopped and was reversed into a police car before continuing towards Scampston.

    Police said a number of drivers had to take evasive action to avoid crashing into the Astra, and officers have appealed for witnesses and dash-cam footage.

    The arrested pair remain in custody.

    Vandalism of railway equipment at Conisbrough means fewer trains are currently able to run between Sheffield and Doncaster, meaning delays, changes and cancellations are expected.

    Services between Sheffield and Adwick/Hull/Bridlington and between Lincoln Central and Doncaster are affected.

    TransPennine Express services between Manchester Airport and Cleethorpes are also affected.

    Problems are currently expected until at least 10:00, according to National Rail Enquiries.

    The firm behind 17 cafes in Yorkshire has collapsed, blaming severe cash-flow problems and poor trading conditions.

    The Filmore and Union chain employed about 230 people.

    Administrators were appointed on Friday and have arranged the partial sale of the production kitchen and 10 stores.

    That plan aims to safeguard 150 jobs, but the remaining sites have ceased trading with the loss of 80 posts.

    Phil Pierce, from the administrators FRP Advisory LLP, said the company's outlets included stand-alone cafes, in-store and train station cafes in East, West and North Yorkshire as well as the head office and production kitchen in Wetherby.
