A stolen car drove on the wrong side of the road during a high-speed police chase in West Auckland early today.
Police said the pursuit spanned several suburbs and reached "excessive" speeds.
The chase began at about 3am after a suspected stolen car took off when police tried to pull it over on West Coast Rd in Glen Eden.
The car sped around the outskirts of Henderson with police in pursuit until it was deemed too dangerous to continue.
A police spokesman said at times the car crossed travelled on the wrong side of the road.
