Two 18-year-olds have been arrested after a dramatic police pursuit involving a stolen car, the Eagle chopper and a police dog unit.
The chase began on Symonds St in central Auckland about 10.25pm yesterday and ended when the stolen car was spiked in Ellerslie.
Two men were in the offending vehicle, which had failed to stop for police and sped off down the Southern Motorway.
A police car chased the vehicle for a short time before abandoning the pursuit when they lost sight of the car.
