The Home Office figures published yesterday show that 70
   people died in the 12 months to March 2002 while in custody or
   following contact with the police. This is 17 deaths more than
   the previous year - a rise of 32%. 

   The number of people who have died in car and motorbike
   crashes while trying to evade the police has risen in the last
   year from 17 to 31, according to figures published yesterday.

   In one of the worst cases in North Wales in March this year the
   police spotted a man who had been reported as a drunk driver.
   He failed to stop and police followed him for more than five miles
   before he crashed
