Busy night for south Auckland police

Police in south Auckland have arrested five people after five separate vehicle pursuits.

They were also called to two separate incidents in Otara, both involving a person presenting a shotgun at another person.

Acting Senior Sergeant Spencer Matthews says an assault in a carpark on Roscommon Road was the most serious incident they attended.

He says a woman is in hospital with serious injuries, including broken bones, bruising and lacerations.

He says although south Auckland is notorious for crime, last night was a particularly busy night for officers on the beat.
