Three people were arrested after a stolen vehicle rammed a police car in an attempt to stop it blocking a rural road near Hastings.
Police said two stolen vehicles were travelling on Kahuranaki Rd in convoy about 3.30am on Sunday when one drove into a patrol car that had blocked the vehicles in, damaging the police car.
