The driver refused to stop and drove off in a dangerous manner, according to the officers.
The air support unit was called in and aided the officers on the ground, who were able to successfully deploy a tire deflation device.
The van was abandoned on Dalmeny Road and three people took off on foot and attempted to hide in a field.
They were tracked down by officers and a police dog and taken into custody.
