A rider who failed to stop for Police and instead hit the gas will now face court.

At about 3.20am this morning, Police spotted the vehicle travelling along Puhinui Road, Manukau towards the Southern Motorway.

“Upon approaching the motorway on-ramp the motorbike has accelerated heavily and Police have activated their red and blue lights and siren,” Detective Senior Sergeant Veronica McPherson, Counties Manukau CIB, says.

“Officers have quickly pulled back and the Police Eagle helicopter has taken over to maintain observations on the rider.”
