A man who allegedly failed to stop after a traffic incident was finally caught by police after three pursuits in the Lower Hutt area today.
Police had been looking for the man since yesterday and he was spotted in a blue Mitsubishi Galant today.
Patrols began two chases but abandoned both because the man was allegedly driving dangerously.

A 24-year-old man was arrested without further drama and faces dangerous driving and failing to stop charges.
