\u201cNo pursuit was initiated, however, the Police Eagle helicopter was quick to pick up the vehicle and track it as it travelled along the motorway and over the Harbour Bridge.\u201d<\/p>\n
Richardson said the vehicle continued on through Northcote, Glenfield, Albany and Takapuna, despite being spiked on two separate occasions.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce the rubber tyres had disintegrated, the vehicle came to a stop on Esmonde Rd and was blocked in by police.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe driver was immediately taken into custody and a search of the vehicle subsequently located a quantity of methamphetamine.\u201d<\/p>\n
A gang member fleeing police across Auckland’s North Shore is facing a raft of charges after allegedly evading a police request to stop. <\/p>\n
Richardson said the suspect will be charged with possession of methamphetamine for supply, dangerous driving, driving while disqualified, possession of utensils for methamphetamine, failing to stop and breach of release conditions.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlong with appearing in court on a raft of charges, this man\u2019s vehicle has also been impounded.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m glad we could bring this to a safe conclusion and hold this person to account for their reckless actions.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cNo pursuit was initiated, however, the Police Eagle helicopter was quick to pick up the vehicle and track…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":443650,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[2840,74,665,3952,1565,3944,9436,6097,2245,6130,7813,1328,20589,106,20214,78,1329,1304,111,43,139,529,69,90,675,226522,20383,18484,1324],"class_list":["post-443649","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-zealand","tag-across","tag-after","tag-around","tag-aucklands","tag-bridge","tag-car","tag-chase","tag-down","tag-early","tag-failing","tag-fled","tag-gang","tag-harbour","tag-head","tag-hunter","tag-in","tag-member","tag-morning","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-north","tag-nz","tag-on","tag-police","tag-rims","tag-roads","tag-shore","tag-stop"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/443649","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=443649"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/443649\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/443650"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=443649"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=443649"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=443649"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
