Four youths aged 12 to 17 have been arrested after an alleged fleeing driver incident in Auckland last night.
Police were alerted to a vehicle "believed to be stolen" travelling on Ti Rakau Drive shortly before 11pm, Inspector Adam Pyne said.
"Police attempted to spike the vehicle, however the vehicle fled the area at speed," he added.
"At this stage, Eagle [the police helicopter] was responding to the area and provided overhead observations as the vehicle travelled towards Manurewa."
The vehicle was found abandoned on Great South Rd soon after – and "further enquiries" led officers to a nearby address.
The four youths were there.
"The group, aged between 12 and 17, was taken into custody without incident," Pyne said.
"They have all since been referred to Youth Aid."
It's "incredibly lucky" nobody was hurt, he added.
