Occupants of car abandoned after a midnight police pursuit through Havelock North have yet to be found.
Police said they received a report of a carjacking and robbery at a location on Tui Place, in the Hastings suburb of Camberley, just before midnight on Wednesday.
The stolen vehicle was observed by police a short while later along Havelock Rd, before officers signalled for the vehicle to stop, according to a police spokeswoman.
The vehicle failed to stop and fled.
Police said they followed the vehicle a considerable distance before abandoning their pursuit due to the manner of driving of the stolen vehicle.
A Fire and Emergency spokeswoman said they received a report of a car fire in Havelock North at 12.20am on Thursday.
The fire was subsequently extinguished with a high pressure hose, but it is not known if the car was the one stolen from Tui Place.
Police inquiries are ongoing to locate the offenders involved in the incident.
It's understood a NZDF aircraft and multiple helicopters are involved.
