Police are searching for a driver after a high-speed pursuit through central Otago.
Police said an officer signalled a driver travelling too fast to stop on the Tarras-Cromwell Highway this morning.
The driver wouldn't stop and led police on a chase that reached speeds of up to 140km/h.
Police said a tyre deflation device was set up but the fleeing vehicle avoided it and continued on towards Alexandra.
The pursuit of the vehicle was then abandoned due to safety concerns.
