A police car and two other vehicles were struck when a vehicle was being driven in a “dangerous manner” through Auckland this morning.<\/p>\n
Police received a report of a family harm-related matter at an address on Woodward Ave in M\u0101ngere Bridge at around 10.50am.<\/p>\n
Inspector Kelly Joyce said police were advised both parties were inside a vehicle.<\/p>\n
“On arrival, a police patrol vehicle has been struck by the offending vehicle when it fled the address at speed.”<\/p>\n
Police initiated a short pursuit until the police air support unit was overhead and able to observe, she said.<\/p>\n
“The vehicle has been driven in a dangerous manner through Auckland, hitting two vehicles belonging to members of the public.”<\/p>\n
No one was injured.<\/p>\n
Joyce said the vehicle continued to LynnMall Shopping Centre where it came to a stop in the underground carpark.<\/p>\n
“The two people inside the vehicle have fled on foot and a foot chase has ensued.”<\/p>\n
The pair were taken into custody and inquiries were ongoing, she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A police car and two other vehicles were struck when a vehicle was being driven in a “dangerous…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3180,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[51,67,111,43,139,69],"class_list":{"0":"post-3179","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-zealand","8":"tag-auckland","9":"tag-crime-and-justice","10":"tag-new-zealand","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-newzealand","13":"tag-nz"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3179","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=3179"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3179\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3180"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3179"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3179"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
