The suspects, both in their 20s, were spotted on the vehicle at about 02:00 at Wheldrake, on Thursday morning, police said.

As the bike was driven off a field and onto a road, a stinger device was used to puncture the vehicle's tyres and the two riders were arrested.

A spokesperson for North Yorkshire Police said: "A check of the quad bike revealed it had been reported stolen from the Lincolnshire area earlier this year.

"Both men were arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle. One was further arrested on suspicion of drug-driving and driving without insurance."

The men have been released while an investigation takes place, officers confirmed.

A group of homeless people have spent the night in one of Leeds’ most exclusive hotels, after rooms were donated by a businessman.

Eight rooms at the city centre Malmaison, worth £1,000, were given to the charity Homeless Street Angels, external by Michael Fildes, from the company Sodexo Circles UK, after realising they’d been booked and paid for but wouldn’t be used.

Becky Joyce, from the charity, then hand-picked eight people – including one man who lives in a tent and another who sleeps in a derelict house – to stay the night in a room with clean sheets and a bathroom.

Ms Joyce got a phone call offering the rooms at 17:00 on Thursday night. By 21:00, eight people, who would have otherwise been sleeping rough, were booked into the hotel.

She says: “One of our guys messaged me about 07:30 this morning to say, 'thank you so much.'

“He’s had three baths and one shower and said, 'Thank you for the opportunity to give me a night where I feel human again.'"

Hear more from Becky:

Sara Hargraves, general manager at Malmaison Leeds, says: “We are incredibly humbled to have been able to offer these eight rooms and a warm night’s stay to our local community.

"We were more than happy to accommodate Sodexo’s generous request when they realised the rooms were no longer needed, and thrilled they were occupied by some of our locals in need in the community, all of whom were polite and a pleasure to have stay with us.”

An inquest jury returns a verdict of misadventure after Steven O'Neill drowned in York.

The funeral has been held for one of the country's last D-Day veterans who died last month at the age of 97.

Ray Lord (pictured below), from Hull, enlisted in the East Yorkshire Regiment in 1943 and was one of thousands who landed on the beaches of France on 6 June 1944.

Despite being injured by a mortar bomb, he made it to Germany and was in the city of Bremen when the war in Europe came to an end.

Mr Lord joined the Army as a boy soldier at the age of 14. He then worked repairing bomb damage in Hull until he was allowed to take up a combat role at the age of 18.

Following Mr Lord's death in October, his son, Robert Lord, described him as a "very proud hero of Hull".

About 100 people attended the ceremony at Haltemprice Crematorium in Willerby, including friends and veterans as well as members of Humberside Fire and Rescue Service.

Pall bearers from 4th Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment also paid their respects.

Ambulance handover delays at Lincolnshire's A&E departments have almost doubled, with over 70 patients waiting on trolleys for 12 hours in September, according to latest figures.

A report before United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust (ULHT) covering the period of August and September said there were 71 12-hour trolley waits while nearly 6% fewer patients were triaged within 15 minutes.

Handover delays almost doubled, with those lasting over 59 minutes increasing by 294 patients in September to 629, and those waiting more than two hours increasing from 244 to 465.

In his latest board report, Richard Henderson, the trust's CEO, says: "Since the beginning of the summer we have started to see the hospital handover position deteriorating significantly.

"This relates to the delays we are experiencing in being able to hand over our patients on arrival at hospital."

ULHT this week confirmed that nearly all of its beds were occupied. The trust has been contacted for comment.

It comes as the College of Paramedics has told the BBC that lives are at risk because patients are facing unacceptably long waits for a 999 response.

Volunteers from St John Ambulance will be on the streets of Leeds over the next few weekends in a bid to help keep people safe on nights out.

The charity is running a mobile treatment unit in the city centre between now and Christmas.

Based on Boar Lane, it will provide first aid and offer a safe space for vulnerable people and it's hoped it will ease pressure on the NHS, the police and the ambulance service.

It's been partly funded by the West Yorkshire Violence Reduction Unit.

Its director, Ch Supt Jackie Marsh, says: "It often acts as a place of safety for those who may be vulnerable on a night out and chimes closely with the mayor’s pledge around safety of women and girls.

"Given the recent reports we have seen nationally and locally around drink spiking, it delivers a great resource that can quickly respond."

The unit will run every weekend in November and December until the new year.

Richard Stokes, who runs The Ponty Tavern, says he wants to do his bit as a pub owner and a father.

The guidance will remain in place to the end of January, City of York Council health bosses say.

The usually colourful bird was found by a vet at Thorpe Audlin - about 50 miles from the sea.

Yorkshire Swan & Wildlife Rescue Hospital, which was called out to help rescue the exotic visitor, said it was most likely blown off course due to recent poor weather.

After being warmed up and dried, it will need feeding up and a full recovery is expected, it said.

Half the UK's puffin population is to be found at only a few sites, including the RSPB's Bempton Cliffs reserve in East Yorkshire and the Farne Islands and Coquet Island off the Northumberland coast.

"They then fled the scene in a car with the registration PL08."

Anyone who recognises the man in the image is being asked to contact police.

People living in a North Lincolnshire village say their lives and mental health are being affected by smells coming from a landfill site which is less than a mile from their homes.

Officials at Winterton Town Council say the odours, which are coming from the Roxby Landfill site, impact about 3,500 residents.

Fiona, who lives nearby, says: "It certainly affects me from a stress point of view and it’s making me miserable.

"Winterton is a beautiful place to live with open countryside. I love it here but the smells are really marring it."

Biffa Waste Services, which holds the licence to operate the site, has been investigated twice by the Environment Agency following complaints in 2019 and 2020.

It was also handed a formal written warning in January this year after a review by the Environment Agency’s Area Enforcement Panel.

In a letter seen by the BBC, Biffa has written to residents informing them that it is moving to the next phase of the development and introducing new control measures which should be finished by the "festive period".

The BBC has contacted Biffa Waste Services for a comment but has yet to receive a response.

Walkley councillor Ben Curran is asking Sheffield City Council to take part in White Ribbon Day on 25 November, external and highlights recent drink spiking attacks and the Our Bodies, Our Streets, external campaign.

As part of the day, the symbol would be displayed in and around council buildings on windows and notice boards.

Mr Curran says staff should be encouraged to wear a white ribbon, particularly men who could also make the White Ribbon Promise to never commit, excuse or remain silent about violence against women.

Councillor Curran says: "Raising awareness about violence against women, and acting to combat this, is not something that should be just shouted about one day a year, but all year round."

He added: "Sheffield Council should mark this occasion and show that the organisation is committed to being part of the solution."

Councillor Curran will ask his colleagues to support his proposals at a meeting on 18 November.

The city's Christmas lights will be turned on next Thursday without a ceremony over Covid concerns.
