Police set up cordons inside and around Rotorua's International Stadium today looking for a driver who earlier failed to stop for police.
A car, believed to be a white Subaru, failed to stop for police about 11.20am.
A police media spokeswoman said the car had been found dumped on Devon St near the Rotorua International Stadium.
It was believed those inside the car were in the area of the stadium and police patrols and police dogs and their handlers thoroughly searched the area.
The driver is still wanted but a police media spokeswoman said this afternoon two men found in the area were being questioned by police.
