A suspected drug dealer has been arrested after being spotted by a police patrol in Harrogate.
In the early hours of today, 28 August 2025, North Yorkshire Police officers were on patrol in Woodlands Drive, Harrogate, when they spotted a man dressed in dark clothing, who made off as they approached.
After a search of the area, they spotted him again on Hookstone Chase and he ran off – but before long he was caught and detained by pursuing officers.
He was arrested and searched, and found to have a large amount of suspected Class A drugs, cannabis, and cash on him.
The 21-year-old was taken into custody, where he remains while our enquiries continue.
