A spokesman for the force said on the Cleveland & Durham RPU Facebook page: "A search of nearby gardens soon lead to the driver being detained hiding under a hedge. We didn't beat about the bush and he was soon arrested on suspicion of fail to stop, dangerous driving, no licence, no insurance and drug driving.

"The vehicle was recovered, whilst the driver spends some time in the cells, plenty of time to think of a better hiding place."
