Two arrests after police chase

Two men have been arrested after a high-speed police chase through Manawatu overnight.

The chase began after a service station burglary in Ashhurst, 15km northeast of Palmerston North, about 2am, Sergeant Graham Wehipeihana of Palmerston North police said.

Four police cars chased the men's car for about 50km until it was stopped with road spikes in Foxton and the men were arrested.

Mr Wehipeihana said a 20-year-old would appear in court tomorrow, and a 25-year-old next week.
