Police have arrested a 19-year-old man and impounded his car after reports of illegal street racing in Raglan over the weekend.
Police said he was one of multiple drivers allegedly seen driving dangerously on Nau Mai Road.
Senior Constable Brendon Richardson says police are committed to responding to boy racing that puts the lives of other road users at risk.
“We are taking a district-wide approach to this and will take action against those that are putting others at risk.
“Police are also working with our partner agencies and local councils around other measures that can assist us in preventing this behaviour."
Police said the man was charged with operating a motor vehicle causing sustained loss of traction, and excess breath alcohol, and is due to appear in Hamilton District Court on March 27.
