Police are appealing for witnesses to Tuesday last week's pursuit of a stolen car that began at Okaihau and ended in Kaitaia (Stolen car stopped at last, January 5).
In particular they are looking for the driver of a light-coloured sedan that had a can of alcohol thrown at it as it travelled south on the open road a few kilometres south of Kaitaia, almost causing it to crash, and the driver of a 'champagne' Mazda truck with a snorkel, roof racks and front lights, who took evasive action by turning into Allen Bell Drive.
They would also like to hear from any other drivers, or pedestrians, who had to get out of the way of the stolen car. Phone the Kaitaia police, (09) 408-6500.
