A fleeing driver who was on the run after allegedly crashing a stolen car into a fence before stealing another car, has been arrested.
A police spokesperson earlier said officers were responding to a fleeing driver in Cracroft, Christchurch.
“At around 8.45am police were called after a stolen vehicle was sighted driving erratically. The vehicle repeatedly failed to stop for police when signalled to do so.
“A short time later, after crashing into a gate, the driver came to a stop on Homecroft Court. The driver then proceeded to steal another vehicle before fleeing the scene.”
