A driver of a car who led police on a chase around the outskirts of Hamilton overnight remains on the run.
Waikato police Senior Sergeant Simon Cherry said the man's actions put not only himself but other road users at risk.
Cherry said the vehicle was first spotted by officers on Victoria St, Hamilton, just after midnight today.
However, when they tried to pull it over, the vehicle sped off towards Morrinsville along Piako Rd.
It then veered north towards Gordonton and Taupiri.
