Mismatched Plates Spark Police Attention
A vehicle caught with mismatched plates has left two people facing a variety of charges.
At about 12.45am, Police observed a Toyota Corolla with two different number plates travelling along Eastdale Road, Avondale.
Auckland City West Area Response Manager, Senior Sergeant Guy Baldwin, says officers confirmed the vehicle was stolen and also allegedly linked to an aggravated robbery in Dargaville.
“Officers signalled for the vehicle to pullover, however it failed to do so.
“It briefly fled before stopping on Eastdale Road where two people exited and attempted to flee on foot.”
Senior Sergeant Baldwin says Police quickly took the pair into custody without further incident.
“We acknowledge the concern incidents like these can cause to the wider community and reiterate our commitment to holding these offenders accountable.
“We will continue to work hard to ensure our community can be safe and feel safe.”
A 58-year-old man will appear in Auckland District Court today charged with unlawfully taking a motor vehicle and aggravated robbery.
A 27-year-old man is facing charges of unlawfully getting into a motor vehicle.
