A police raid on a Canterbury home uncovered a number of items believed to be involved in the manufacture of methamphetamine, as well as a variety of ammunition.
Detective Inspector Greg Murton said a search warrant was executed on a rural property in Magnet Bay, Banks Peninsula.
A 38-year-old man, who is the occupant of the property, was arrested late last night by Christchurch Police.
Police attempted to pull him over while driving in New Brighton but he failed to stop and the unit pursued him for a time.
He was arrested shortly before 11pm on Owles Terrace.
