A man and woman have been arrested after a dramatic police chase that began in Rotorua and ended near Tokoroa.
A police spokeswoman confirmed officers pursued a vehicle continuously late last night as it fled from Rotorua and eventually stopped in Kinleith, 54 kilometres away.
The spokeswoman said a vehicle had been seen driving in a dangerous manner in the Rotorua area about 11.45pm.
When the vehicle was signalled to stop by police, the driver allegedly fled and police gave chase.
The spokeswoman confirmed, "we were in pursuit the whole time".
