Two men have been arrested after police were called to a report of a collision involving a suspected stolen vehicle in Middlesbrough.
Around 7:30pm yesterday (Sunday 6th June), officers attended a report of a black BMW 1 series which had collided with a property on Stanhope Gardens.
Fortunately, the occupants were not injured, however, significant damage was caused to the property.
All occupants made off from the vehicle, which is believed to have been stolen from the Saltburn area in May.
Subsequent enquiries carried out by police this morning have resulted in the arrest of two males aged 25 and 34 on suspicion of a number of offences.
A search of one of the males also led officers to seize suspected crack cocaine, heroin and cannabis.
