Two people have appeared in court this morning after a police pursuit in North Canterbury last night that ended in a car catching fire.
The pursuit started about 11pm on Tram Rd, in Ohoka, police say.
After a 10-minute pursuit, officers laid down spikes and the car was finally stopped on Rangiora Woodend Rd.
A police spokeswoman said the car then caught fire, but was quickly put out by firefighters.
Christopher Warren Corfield and Michelle Susan Wallace, aged 32 and from Kaiapoi, appeared from custody in Christchurch District Court this morning.
