Auckland police have arrested one person after tracking a stolen vehicle 30km along a motorway.
Police responded to reports of a car being stolen from an address on McClymonts Rd, Albany, in north Auckland about 2.50pm today.
A police spokeswoman said the driver didn’t stop for police and fled towards State Highway 1 near Whangaparāoa.
“Police units, with assistance from [the Eagle helicopter], have monitored the vehicle as it travelled for a distance along the motorway,” the spokeswoman said.
“The vehicle was successfully spiked and has eventually come to a stop near Puhoi Rd where one person was taken into custody without incident.”
The 19-year-old disappeared without her wallet or mobile phone.
