UPDATE: Three people are in custody and two cars have been recovered.
The chase was part of Operation Ruby and an investigation into several stolen cars in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.
A spokesperson for Aberdeen police said:
“Police Scotland can confirm that two vehicles have been recovered and three people are in custody, today Friday 12th December 2014, as part of Operation Ruby and the investigation into several stolen vehicles in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.
“A BMW X5 has been recovered in Inverurie and an Audi Q5 in Aberdeen this morning.
“Police are also appealing to the public for help to trace three outstanding vehicles which have been stolen from the Aberdeenshire area in the last week.
“The vehicles include a Silver VW Golf registration OE60 WYU, a black Audi A1 registration SV61 YRL or W23 JLG and a white Vauxhall Combo Van registration SV61 XVA.”
Chief Inspector Richard Craig said : “Anyone who has seen these vehicles parked in their street or within a car park in their local community should contact Police Scotland on 101. On some occasions these vehicles have been driven recklessly in the City and Shire endangering other road users.
“As part of Operation Ruby we are using specialist police resources from across the country including air support to assist local officers in the investigation and recovery of these vehicles.”
A car chase starting in Inverurie has moved into Aberdeen city centre.
A man wearing a balaclava in a blue 4×4 is being chased by police cars. One Inverurie eyewitness Stacey Macauley, said: “I was sitting on the bus at the Town Hall in Inverurie and a 4×4 type car zoomed over the top of the small roundabout there.
“It was overtaking cars, two police cars went after it.
“I think there’s some weird police chase going on.”
Residents reportedly took refuge in local shops.

Locals are trying to remain calm, describing the situation as “casual” because they’re hard as nails.
