Two men have been arrested after allegedly stealing a car and fleeing from police in Tauranga.
A police spokeswoman said officers received information about a stolen vehicle from an address about 3.40am.
They later saw a "suspicious" vehicle heading toward Pyes Pa Rd and began following it, she said.
The car allegedly fled before reversing into a ditch, she said. Two men were arrested.
A 27-year-old man and a 59-year-old man were due to appear in Tauranga District Court today charged with various driving offences.
