A man tried to flee from police even after his vehicle’s tyres had been spiked and he was left with only the rims to drive on.
The chase through Palmerston North lasted for 45 minutes in the early hours of this morning and eventually led to the man’s arrest along with two associates who tried to help him avoid police.
It started shortly before 1am when police signalled for the man, who was wanted by police, to exit his vehicle which had been spotted parked in Crewe Cres.
Senior sergeant Paul Claridge said the driver took off and failed to stop when signalled by police with flashing lights and a siren.
