Police were quick to find the hiding spots of three men who allegedly fled after a dangerously driven vehicle crashed in Onehunga overnight.

Around 1.20am, Auckland City officers were on patrol when they were alerted to a Mazda Azela travelling on Church Street.

Senior Sergeant Tony Ngau Chun, Auckland City East Area Response Manager, says the vehicle was observed conducting a u-turn before driving at speed along Victoria Street.

“Due to the dangerous manner of driving, the vehicle was not pursued.”
