TWO men have been arrested in York following a pursuit by North Yorkshire Police.

The men were arrested in the Tang Hall area of the city at about 11.30am.

North Yorkshire Police said the men, who have not yet been identified, were wanted for recall to prison, and the police dog team was used in an operation to apprehend them.

The Press understands the men were arrested following a short chase through local gardens in the area, but North Yorkshire Police would not confirm this.
