Three people have been arrested, following a burglary south of Auckland and a dramatic failed escape from police on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Officers were called to a burglary at a business on Great South Road in Drury just after 5pm.<\/p>\n
Police said the three alleged offenders got into a vehicle waiting nearby and left the scene.<\/p>\n
They were spotted by police and signalled to stop, but fled from police at speed.<\/p>\n
The vehicle crashed into another vehicle as it left Drury and a bus on Scott Road in Papakura.<\/p>\n
“Miraculously, nobody was hurt,” a spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
It was tracked by Police Eagle helicopter travelling north on State Highway One.<\/p>\n
The vehicle reportedly travelled one-and-half times over the speed limit at times, as it hurtled along Auckland’s Northern Motorway.<\/p>\n
It stopped on the motorway, north of Puhoi Road, just before 6pm.<\/p>\n
Police say the occupants were taken into custody and charges were being considered.<\/p>\n
