A series of poor decisions resulted in one teenager’s arrest and a badly damaged vehicle. It could have ended so much worse.

A Police unit patrolling in Highland Park observed a Toyota sports car enter Pakuranga Road from a service station just after midnight.

“The vehicle performed a loss of traction in front of the unit and sped off,” Counties Manukau East Area Response Manager, Senior Sergeant Peter Kaveney says.

“Police have attempted to signal the vehicle stop but the vehicle fled at speed up Angelo Avenue.”
