The man continued his dash down the SouthWestern Motorway at \u201cexcessive speeds\u201d. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe car has allegedly been driven at excessive speed towards the airport, before heading north towards central Auckland.\u201d <\/p>\n
Police laid spikes in Mt Eden, which stopped the car, but the man jumped out and tried to steal another car while people were inside it. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe has continued his brazen offending, attempting to carjack a passing vehicle,\u201d Albrey said. <\/p>\n
\u201cFortunately, the driver was able to reverse to safety, forcing the man to run back to his vehicle.\u201d<\/p>\n
He carried on to Khyber Pass before forcing a person out of their vehicle. <\/p>\n
\u201cOur staff were soon on scene, promptly taking this man into custody and preventing any further harm.\u201d<\/p>\n
Albrey said a search of the man\u2019s vehicle found methamphetamine paraphernalia and a bat.<\/p>\n
A 33-year-old man faces a multitude of charges, including two of assault with intent to rob, and possession of an offensive weapon.<\/p>\n
He also faces driving charges, including driving while suspended, dangerous driving and failing to stop.<\/p>\n
Albrey said the actions could have caused someone serious harm. <\/p>\n
\u201cOur staff have worked hard this morning to bring this incident to a safe conclusion and taking the man into custody.\u201d<\/p>\n
The accused is due to appear in the Manukau District Court today. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The man continued his dash down the SouthWestern Motorway at \u201cexcessive speeds\u201d. \u201cThe car has allegedly been driven…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":156929,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[2840,74,7818,11924,4496,51,1558,103825,11544,8609,77435,78,13620,5158,51720,3945,111,43,139,69,675,28355],"class_list":{"0":"post-156928","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-zealand","8":"tag-across","9":"tag-after","10":"tag-allegedly","11":"tag-arrested","12":"tag-attempt","13":"tag-auckland","14":"tag-been","15":"tag-carjack","16":"tag-dash","17":"tag-double","18":"tag-earlymorning","19":"tag-in","20":"tag-leading","21":"tag-man","22":"tag-motorists","23":"tag-motorway","24":"tag-new-zealand","25":"tag-news","26":"tag-newzealand","27":"tag-nz","28":"tag-police","29":"tag-trying"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156928","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=156928"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156928\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/156929"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=156928"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=156928"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=156928"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
