Superintendent Lane Todd, Canterbury Metro Commander:
Christchurch Police are making enquiries after an incident in Anzac Drive where it appears shots were fired at a police car overnight.

The car failed to stop, and officers saw what they believed to be shots fired through a window of the car, towards the police car.
Police immediately abandoned the pursuit.
Fortunately nobody was injured but Police are taking the incident extremely seriously.

We would also like to hear from anyone who has information which could assist our enquiries.
