Police acknowledge and accept the findings of the Independent Police Conduct Authority released today concerning a fatal unjustified pursuit three years ago.

On 13 July 2023, a road policing checkpoint was being carried out on Lincoln Road in Henderson. 

A Police motorcycle officer noticed a man weaving his own motorcycle through traffic and he was signalled to stop.

He failed to stop and a pursuit at high speed ensued, ending when the motorcycle crashed near Tauhinu Road, Greenhithe and resulting in the rider’s death.
