Police have made arrests in a number of serious incidents including a man at the centre of a high speed chase involving numerous police vehicles and a helicopter.
A 42-year-old man was arrested following a raid on a Whangarei house, a day after the police pursuit. It's believed he could also be linked to a string of coastal and rural burglaries over the last few weeks.
Two men, aged 38 and 42, were arrested following police searches of a Whangarei property and another at Maungatapere last Friday.
The 42-year-old is alleged to have been in a pursuit on State Highway 14 near the intersection with Mangakahia Rd, west of Whangarei, about 11.15pm last Thursday.
Northland police spokeswoman Sarah Kennett said officers searched two houses at Whangarei and Maungatapere and found property that had been stolen from coastal and rural addresses and some property believed to have been stolen in other burglaries.
