A 16-year-old has been arrested after allegedly committing three commercial burglaries and failing to stop for police this morning.
The first burglary was reported in Whangārei shortly after 2.30am. The Advocate understands it was at Hunting and Fishing on Rust St.
The other two burglaries were in the Dargaville area after 3am.
Police found a suspicious vehicle after 4am and signalled it to stop, but the driver did not.
The vehicle came to a stop near Kaikohe Airport after police twice deployed spikes.
