From speeding to seizure: drugs found in Darfield
Location:
Canterbury

Attribute to Acting Senior Sergeant Rob Irvine:

A regular patrol for Darfield Police led them to a trove of hidden drugs, ammunition and weapons yesterday.

Around 1.30pm, Police sighted a known offender driving while suspended on West Coast Road in Selwyn and turned on lights and sirens to signal the driver to pull over.

The driver fled instead, accelerating at speed on the highway and driving on the wrong side of the road, dramatically trying to avoid Police.

Due to the manner of driving, Police did not initiate a pursuit.
