October 6, 2020

Four people have been taken into custody after a short police pursuit in Papakura, South Auckland today.

Residents reported seeing a grey station wagon driving dangerously around noon today, with reports of a person hanging out a window holding what appeared to be a firearm.

Police confirmed they were alerted to a vehicle driving dangerously just before midday.

When signalled to stop, the driver did not, and "the vehicle continue to drive at low speed before it was successfully spiked near Beach Road," a police spokesperson said.

"The vehicle came to a stop a short time later on Beach Road and four people were swiftly taken into custody."

Police did not say whether a firearm had been recovered, or what charges, if any, would be laid.
