Police would like to thank the numerous people in the Mission Bay area who
reported a person driving erratically along Tamaki Drive earlier this
afternoon.

At around 2.30pm, staff received at least six calls within minutes of each
other relating to a vehicle allegedly being driven in a dangerous manner
along the beachside road.

Police units, with the assistance of the Police Eagle helicopter, tracked the
vehicle to a carpark off Selwyn Reserve.

Police were able to successfully block the vehicle in, and take the driver
into custody without incident.

Inspector Jason Homan says thankfully no one was injured.

“We do not tolerate this type of behaviour that puts other road users at
risk and will continue to work hard to ensure our community can be safe and
feel safe.

“I would also like to acknowledge those members of the public who observed
the concerning behaviour and called 111 straight away, meaning Police could
respond swiftly.”

If you see any illegal or suspicious activity and it is happening now you can
contact Police via 111, if it’s after the fact you can contact Police on
105.
