Police stopped the vehicle in Foreshore Road and received minor injuries while making the arrests. Both officers were able to carry on with their duties.
A 45-year-old man and 41-year-old woman, both from Scarborough, have been charged with possession of a class A drug with intent to supply and assaulting a police officer. They have since been released under investigation while enquiries continue.
