Robbery suspects arrested following high speed drive -
Remuera - Auckland City
Two men have been arrested in
Remuera after driving at high speed and in a dangerous
manner around Eastern Auckland for about 25 minutes on
Tuesday evening. At about 7pm a Police motorway patrol
sighted a stolen car wanted in connection with a robbery at
a South Auckland Dairy travelling on the Southern
motorway.
The car fled from the officer and left the
motorway at Mount Wellington.
The pursuit was abandoned by
ground units within a few minutes when the car was driven at
very high speed and in an erratic and dangerous
manner.
The Police helicopter Eagle was able to keep the
car in sight as it drove around Mount Wellington, Panmure,
Glen Innes, and Remuera for about 25 minutes.
The car was
eventually dumped in the Remuera area and the two occupants
ran away on foot.
They were arrested a few minutes later
by Police ground
units.
