Police have arrested a man after a woman was killed in a hit-and-run in Wellington last Thursday.
Detective Inspector Haley Ryan said police arrested the 36-year-old today at a Lower Hutt address in relation to a hit-and-run in Naenae.
Lower Hutt woman 62-year-old Anita Rani died at the scene of the crash on November 16.
The man is due to appear in Lower Hutt District Court today on a number of charges including driving causing death, burglary and a number of dishonesty offences associated with that night.
Rani was struck by a dark grey Mazda 6 sedan on Naenae Rd last week, and the vehicle immediately left the scene.
