A late-night chase involving the Dunedin dog squad and road spikes ended after a man, who had been spotted driving erratically through the city, abandoned his car outside the central police station and handed himself in.
Senior Sergeant Craig Dinnissen, of Dunedin, said a vehicle had been seen by members of the public driving erratically around the inner city about 1am.
The vehicle was observed twice driving up the alleyway of the police station in an attempt to bait officers into a pursuit.
Due to the risk the man's actions posed to the public, police employed road spikes in an attempt to stop the vehicle, but the manoeuvre proved unsuccessful.
