A man was arrested by police and will appear in Tauranga District Court today after allegedly sparking a police chase across town last night.
Acting Sergeant Adrain Tukaki said a 35-year-old local man allegedly sparked a police pursuit after not stopping when asked to by police.
The offender would appear in court this morning for a number of driving offences, Mr Tukaki said.
He understood the pursuit went across town from around the Mount Maunganui area towards the Greerton area and possibly along the Takitimu Drive expressway.
A Mount Maunganui resident told the Bay of Plenty Times he had heard multiple sirens some time after 10pm last night.
